Sangiovese$350

"The 2019 Casanova di Neri Cerretalto Brunello di Montalcino is a monumental 100% Sangiovese known for its incredible depth, intensity, and purity. It offers a complex bouquet of black cherry, graphite, and violet blossoms, leading to a palate that is vibrant, velvety, and rich with mineral-toned tannins. This “showstopper” vintage has received near-perfect critical acclaim, including multiple 99 and 100-point ratings, for its otherworldly balance and powerful structure. While it captures the radiant character of the vintage, this exceptional wine is built for the long haul and will reveal further grandeur after years of cellaring."

THE FULL TASTING NOTE

Nose

Black cherry, graphite, and violet blossoms — Sangiovese of monumental purity and startling aromatic lift.

Palate

Vibrant, velvety, and rich; mineral-toned tannins frame a radiant fruit core with the otherworldly balance the critics keep citing.

Finish

Powerful yet weightless, stone and cherry resonating on and on.

What we love

  • The single-vineyard Cerretalto is Brunello's answer to Grand Cru Burgundy — site above everything
  • The 2019 collected multiple 99-100 point scores for good reason
  • Pure Sangiovese profundity no international blend can imitate

What to know

  • Built for the long haul — opening before 2028 shortchanges a great bottle
  • $350 Brunello lives or dies by provenance; buy from impeccable storage only

Masseto 202297 pts$495Tuscany, Italy

Tuscany's two summits, an hour apart: the Masseto is French-grape opulence from Bolgheri clay; the Cerretalto is native Sangiovese austerity from Montalcino stone. One seduces, the other transfixes. Read that review →
