BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO DOCG

Cerretalto is the synthesis of intuition, passion and vision that have always distinguished the work of Casanova di Neri.

The mineral imprint, the extraordinary complexity achievable only in certain vintages and only thanks to a Sangiovese with a small and scattered bunch, the decisive human contribution of dedication and love for the work of the land and the great attention in the cellar make it possible to achieve a wine of exceptional quality, personality and unique style that expresses the territory where it was born together with our idea of the great Brunello.
