From the estate's one hectare on the renowned Montosoli hill just north of the town of Montalcino. A vineyard known for producing Sangiovese with a distinctive mineral – almost salty – character, which complements the grape's tart cherry fruit beautifully. The parcel is located at about 300 meters altitude with eastern exposure, contributing to the wine's tension and finesse.

The wine is intense and nuanced with dark cherries, balsamic tones, cedarwood, and spicy citrus notes.

The texture is silky and balanced, supported by fresh minerality and fine tannins. The finish is classically dry and persistent with hints of licorice and wild berries – a harmonious Brunello with excellent aging potential.

A wine that convincingly balances grandeur and elegance, with a clarity and energy that already show why Montosoli is considered among Montalcino's finest vineyards.

The vinification follows the estate's uncompromising approach with natural yeast, fermentation in concrete, and long maceration before the wine ages for 36 months in large Slavonian oak barrels.

This Brunello has a silky-smooth yet firm tannin structure, fresh acidity, and an almost salty minerality that cries out for classic Tuscan food with fat and richness. The fine tannins are aided by fatty proteins, which soften them, while the fresh cherry acidity and the licorice notes cut through rich braises and aged cheese. Choose dishes with distinct flavor and structure, so the wine's grandeur and elegance find an equal partner without being overwhelmed.

Critic reviews

97Antonio Galloni
Vinous
At first coy, yet with a bit of coaxing, the 2021 Brunello di Montalcino Casanovina Montosoli becomes explosive, blending balsamic-laced black cherries with cedar spice box, incense, dusty earth and spiced citrus rinds. It is a model of balance, with silken textures and depths of polished red berry fruits underscored by crisp mineral tones as a cascade of inner florals swirls throughout.
