Casanova di Neri Brunello Cerretalto 2006

100% Sangiovese, aged in oak for 31 months and 6 years in the bottle, very deep, dark color, rich red fruits and wonderful spice in the mouth, the finish is very long, great ageing potential, decant or open 2 hours before enjoying this wine.

Expert Review

95 Points - A rich style, boasting macerated cherry and raspberry, leather and licorice flavors. Starting to meld with the dense
tannins, which are mouthcoating and almost chewy on the long finish. This has excellent intensity, with a serious seam of mineral that permeates the aftertaste. Best from 2015 through 2035. 863 cases made.

95 Points - Wine Advocate, April 2012
"...emerges from the glass with layers of beautifully delineated dark fruit, flowers, mint, licorice and violets. It possesses terrific richness and nuance in a full-bodied, structured style that captures the essence of this great vintage. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2026."

Food Pairings

Seriously anything tomatoey sings with Sangiovese, pizza and pasta to be sure. Sausages, chicken, gazpacho. Bread salad.
