Third harvest of this Casanova di Neri vineyard. Vineyard in the Sesta area, one of the most important and renowned areas of the Montalcino area, purchased in 2017 for its magnificent exposure and its very old vines, almost 50 years old. Bright and bright red. The complexity of the 2020 vintage is impressive on the nose: strawberry and black cherry are the masters in a rich bouquet of small red fruits. The palate is essential, graceful and extremely balanced. The young tannin is well balanced by a present acidity and a remarkable silkiness.

NOTES OF THE VINTAGE Winter 2020 was characterized by mild temperatures and below average rainfall. A return of cold at the end of March slowed down the vegetative restart and bud break was then in line with previous years. Spring continued regularly with a mild climate and flowering and fruit set took place in optimal conditions. In June there were excellent rainfall. The summer was hot and sunny, without excessive temperatures. All this has led to a slow and constant ripening of the grapes.
