Tasting Notes:

It’s been the third harvest of this vineyard of Casanova di Neri. Located in the area of Sesta, one of the most important and renowned territories in Montalcino, the plot was purchased in 2017, chosen for its magnificent exposure, and its very old vines, of almost 50 years of age. A lively and bright red color. The nose is stunned by the complexity of the 2020 vintage: strawberry and dark cherry dominate the rich bouquet of small red fruits. The palate is harmonic, elegant, and extremely balanced. The young tannins, well integrated with a perceivable acidity, display a great silky texture.
