DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Casanuova delle Cerbaie sits just north of Montalcino, on and around the famous Montosoli hill, at 280 to 370 meters. The winery was founded in the late 1970s and makes about 3,000 cases a year, mostly Brunello. Soils are calcareous clay, marl and galestro, and the vines face mainly southwest.
The vineyards follow organic practices, though they are not certified. All fermentations use native yeasts, and the Brunello ages in large Stockinger casks of 20 to 25 hectoliters, which keeps the oak in the background.
This is 100% Sangiovese from 2015. It is intense ruby with garnet tints, with an enveloping nose of raspberry, tart cherry and violets and a soft touch of wood. The tannins are silky and the finish lasts.
Open it an hour ahead, or decant it. Serve it at 60 to 64°F in a large glass. Pair it with bistecca alla fiorentina, wild boar ragù, mushroom risotto or aged Pecorino.
Bottle size: 750ml
