DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Casanuova delle Cerbaie farms just north of Montalcino, between 280 and 370 meters, on calcareous clay, marl and galestro. Its top vineyard is on the Montosoli hill, one of the most prized slopes in the zone. The estate makes a Riserva only in rare vintages, and 2010 was one of them. This one comes in a 1.5L magnum.
The vineyards are farmed to organic standards without certification, fermentations are spontaneous, and the wine ages in large Stockinger casks. Expect crushed berry, purple flowers, dark spice and a balsamic note on the nose. The full, structured palate brings dried black cherry, raspberry compote, licorice and clove over firm, refined tannins. It is classic, grown-up Brunello, and the magnum format helps it age gracefully.
Stand the magnum upright for a day, decant it for an hour and serve around 62-64F. Bistecca, braised wild boar or aged pecorino will do it justice.
Bottle size: 1.5L
