Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Casanova di Neri has been producing their ‘White Label’ Brunello di Montalcino since 1978. Their commitment to the land, precision in the vineyard and the winery and their clonal selection Sangiovese all play a part in producing this classic Brunello. Know for its elegance and ability to age over the long term, the additional vinification time allows for early drinking with some good decanting.

The Rialzi Chianti Classico is a Gran Selezione from the Perano Estate which has been owned by the Frescobaldi Family in Tuscany for many years. With three terraces with alberese soils and asouth-western exposure, the Rialzi vineyard is located 650 metres above sea level. After meticulous work in the vineyard, the Sangiovese grapes were carefully hand-picked and vinified in the traditional method after which the wine was aged for 36 months, 24 of which spent in oak barriques. Rialzi is a pure Sangiovese wine whose bold, elegant character is the result of the perfect combination of the soil type, altitude and unique micro-climate of the vineyard. It has an intense, bright ruby-red colour. The complex bouquet brings wonderful fruity and spiced notes together in perfect harmony. Hints of wild berries, sour cherry, violet flowers and spices are the overriding aromas, followed by toasted notes and juniper that further emphasise the idea of aSangiovese with indescribable structure and finesse. Its taste is unparalleled in terms of richness and depth, and the perfectly integrated tannins are dense and rounded. The finish is clean and persistent.

This blend of 5% sangiovese, 15% malvasia nera and 10% cabernet is very dark carmine red. The wine explodes on the palate with hints of wild dark cherries and black currant with notes of spice and mediteranean herbs. Dark and powerful yet very elegant, it impresses for its exceptional balance and purity. Enjoy this wine with venison and red meat.

This blend of 65% sangiovese, 25% cabernet and 10% Malvasia Nera reflects a dark ruby color. The nose is opulent and intense with a predominance of black fruits and spicy notes.

Beautifully balanced, this opens with alluring scents of wild berry, rose, baking spice and whiffs of chopped herb. Seamlessly combining ripe fruit and the firm's trademark finesse, the bright elegantly structured palate delivers juicy wild cherry, crushed raspberry, white pepper and a hint of black tea framed in polished tannins and fresh acidity.
