Description
2018
Brunello di Montalcino DOCG
100% Sangiovese
First harvest of this Casanova di Neri vineyard: located in the south-east area, one of the most important in the Montalcino area. It was purchased in 2017 for its magnificent display and its very old vines, almost 50 years old. At sight it appears bright and brilliant red. On the nose it is a symphony of young red fruits: blueberries, cherries and plums, after a while the blood orange appears in the glass. In the mouth the tannins are very fine, creamy and expansive. The acidity of the 2018 harvest balances perfectly with the generosity and structure of this wine. The finish is deep and persistent, a sign of a great future.
2018 was characterized by a very cold winter, whose harsh temperatures led to a delay in budding of about a week compared to the average of previous years. Spring was characterized by abundant rainfall. Flowering occurred in the last week of May. The summer, initially cool, continued with higher temperatures in June and July but never reached excessive peaks. The strong temperature variations between day and night in the days before the harvest favored a slow and constant ripening of the grapes.
Manual, September 2018
Manual selection of the grapes before and after debunching. Fermentation follows, with 20% of the whole bunch, without the use of added yeasts and maceration assisted by frequent punching down. Everything happens in truncated cone wooden vats at a controlled temperature for 29 days.
