Casanova di Neri Rosso di Montalcino DOC 2021
Casanova di Neri Rosso di Montalcino DOC 2021
The grapes come from the Fiesole field located in the eastern part of Montalcino directly opposite the winery. Fiesole is also the field from which the grapes for Brunello di Montalcino White Label originate. A special plot in the field is dedicated to only Rosso di Montalcino DOC
The field is located at an altitude of 350-380 meters, and the subsoil consists of Galestro.
After harvesting in mid-September, the optically sorted grapes have spontaneously fermented under temperature control in steel tanks.
The wine has subsequently matured for 10 months in large old vats (60-102 hl) for 10 months.
In the nose you are met by a large concentration of red fruits and cherries. In the mouth, the wine is extremely balanced with suitable acidity, tannins and elegance, and the wine can be drunk without any problems already.
2021 was a year of mild winter and average rainfall, but very cold winter followed by a rainy spring. The cold returned late in the spring, when germination was well under way. Something was lost and the yield in 2021 is somewhat lower than usual.
The wine has been aged for 10 months in large Slavonian oak barrels.
