About the producer
Casanova di Neri is one of Montalcino's most respected estates, known for making Brunello with both power and elegance across multiple vineyard sites.
About the year
The 2013 vintage in Tuscany was warm and dry, producing ripe, concentrated wines that are drinking beautifully now but will continue to evolve for another decade.
Grape characteristics
Brunello is Tuscany's noblest red grape, capable of aging for decades. It builds layers of flavour over time, moving from bright red fruit toward leather, earth and dried flowers.
About the region
Montalcino sits on Tuscany's southern hills, where limestone-rich soil and warm days create conditions for deep, structured reds that age with grace.
Tasting profile
Expect ripe cherry and plum with hints of leather, tobacco leaf and wild herbs. The wine has weight and presence without heaviness, with a long, savoury finish.
Serving suggestions
Serve at 16 to 18 degrees Celsius. Decant for 30 minutes to open up the aromas. Use a large burgundy glass to let the wine breathe.
