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.
Winter has been quite cold with many days of rain despite the warmer beginning. Spring was a bit postponed compared to previous years, with higher temperatures and light rainy periods. Summer began from early june with mild temperatures and a good rainfall that was well spread out all over the season. August rainstorms significantly lowered the temperatures especially at night and enhanced the aromatic expression, leading to a perfect ripening.
GIOVANNI NERI TASTING NOTES
The White Label 2013 is a wine with the usual bright and intense ruby red colour. The nose is immediately struck by a very young fruity with great freshness and complexity, underlined by delicate notes of cherry and citrus. On the palate it is extremely balanced, lively and decidedly elegant, son of a fresh vintage which allowed the grapes to ripen slowly for a wine for long aging in the bottle.
HARVEST
Manual, September 2013
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 25 days.
