  October 23, 2018 - The 2010 'Cerretalto' is an extraordinary Brunello di Montalcino from Casanova di Neri, which comes from the estates finest selection of grapes, and only produced in ideal vintages. As the 2010 slowly opens, it begins to release aromas of ripe black cherries and blackberries, woven together with violets, graphite, spices, pencil shavings and crushed stones which all take shape in the glass. This is full-bodied, powerful, and complex with remarkable structure and outstanding overall depth and concentration. It possesses a beautiful polished texture that continues on into the ultra-long finish, which carries on and on with tremendous length, leaving behind flavors of ripe dark fruits and graphite. This epic Brunello has an extremely long future ahead, and it will be interesting to watch this evolve for decades to come. The 2010 'Cerretalto' is a truly majestic wine, which has reached the pinnacle of perfection in this great vintage. (Best 2019-2036)
