Casanova di Neri Description
With Pietradonice, Casanova di Neri makes a great international variety its own. Cabernet Sauvignon is well known for its ability to reflect, interpret and be forged by a territory. Casanova di Neri’s expertise in the vineyard and the cellar prove, once again, how a unique terroir can craft unique wines. A wine of decisive character and striking personality is the child of a special microclimate and a soil found nowhere else, one that contains the fragments of onyx that lend their name both to the vineyard and the wine itself. This is a magnificent red of immense depth, with huge aromas, fragrance and flavours. Its tannins are supremely elegant, conveying a sweet aftertaste that lingers in the mouth.
Wine Spectator: 95 Points
Deep, dark color. Classy aromas of blackberries, minerals and spices. Full-bodied, with ultrafine tannins and a long, long finish. So refined. A fabulous debut wine from one of Brunello greatest producers.
Wine Advocate: 90 Points
The 2000 Pietradonice, a Merlot/Sangiovese blend, possesses a dense ruby/purple color in addition to sweet aromas of espresso, pain grille, mocha, black cherry, and currants. Pure, ripe, medium to full-bodied, rich, and concentrated.
