Casanova di Neri proudly produces the White Label Brunello since 1978. Our passion and love for the land and our own distinctive Sangiovese joined together to make a wine that stands out for elegance, finesse, high quality and long ageing potential.
The 2010 season was characterized by a cool and rainy winter and early spring, with normal budding. The months of May and June were cool and rainy while July, August and September were averagely warm with only one heat peak in mid-July. All this has led to grapes in a complete and balanced maturity as we have not had for years. Perhaps from 1978, the first vintage bottled, to date the most complete Brunello White Label ever produced.
GIOVANNI NERI TASTING NOTES
Of great finesse, deep, elegant and complex in the style of Casanova di Neri's "WHITE LABEL" Brunello. It expresses itself with red violet fruits. In the mouth it is fine, long and persistent with still young but excellent quality tannins. Perfect with game, braised meats and aged cheeses. A great little story of passion and love for our land and our wine.
HARVEST
Manual, from October 4th to 15th
VINIFICATION
Manual selection of the grapes first and - after destemming - by optic selector. After that, spontaneous fermentation without added yeasts follows and maceration is facilitated by frequent pressing. Everything takes place in conical steel vats at controlled temperature for 26 days.
