It’s hard to imagine a more awe-inspiring, bold and promising young Brunello than the 2013 Casanova di Neri Cerretalto. Dazzling from the start with aromas and then subsequent flavors of crushed berries, fresh espresso beans, and Valrhona chocolate that follow effortlessly to the palate. Full-bodied, with chewy yet velvety tannins and an obsession-inducing finish that lasts a full 60 seconds. Given the classic vintage, this bottling already delivers a deftly balanced, oh-so-satisfying experience now (decanting recommended) and should age gloriously through 2029+. Best Cerretalto since the 2010 vintage, an all-time favorite.
