Casanova di Neri Irrosso (75cl, 13.5%)

Casanova di Neri Irrosso is a Sangiovese-based red blend from Montalcino, Tuscany. It draws primarily from young Sangiovese vines in the Fiesole vineyard, adjacent to the winery. The wine undergoes spontaneous fermentation without added yeasts in conical stainless steel vats over 13 days, then ages for 15 months in oak barrels. Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot add structural depth while Sangiovese remains at the core. The nose opens with fresh cherry and red roses, with licorice, tobacco and toasted walnut. The palate is lush with ripe cherry and strawberry, silky tannins and bright acidity. The finish is medium, juicy and spice-laced.
