Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino “Cerretalto” 2019 is one of the most iconic and sought-after single-vineyard Brunellos in Italy, representing the pinnacle of the Casanova di Neri estate and one of the greatest expressions of Sangiovese in the modern era. Sourced exclusively from the tiny Cerretalto vineyard in the eastern part of Montalcino, this wine is produced only in exceptional vintages and in extremely limited quantities.

The 2019 vintage is widely regarded as outstanding in Montalcino, delivering exceptional balance between power, aromatic precision, and refined structure. Cerretalto’s unique microclimate—cooler than most of the appellation—combined with mineral-rich soils and low-yielding old vines results in a wine of remarkable tension, depth, and longevity.

Fermentation takes place partly in wood with long maceration, followed by ageing in French oak tonneaux and extended bottle refinement before release. The style is deeply concentrated yet highly precise, combining modern intensity with classical elegance and extraordinary ageing potential. Critics consistently place this wine among the highest-scoring Brunellos of the vintage.
