BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO CASANOVA DI NERI

Description

Grape: 100% Sangioves

Winemaking

We select the bunches manually before de-stemming and selecting the grapes with an optical selector. After that, spontaneous fermentation without added yeasts follows and maceration is facilitated by frequent pressing. Everything takes place in conical steel vats at controlled temperature for 23 days.

AGEING IN OAK BARRELS 43 months
AGEING IN BOTTLES 6 months

Classic Food Pairings

Grilled or roasted red meat such as ribeye steak or Florentine steak

• Braised beef or beef cheeks with herbs
• Lamb with rosemary and garlic
• Wild boar ragù or slow-cooked meat sauces with pasta

These dishes balance the wine’s tannins and highlight its savoury and earthy character.
Other Excellent Matches

• Mushroom risotto or wild mushroom pasta
• Game dishes such as venison
• Aged cheeses like Pecorino or Parmigiano Reggiano
• Rich Italian dishes with tomato and herbs

Brunello’s acidity and structure make it especially good with grilled meats and hearty cuisine.

Serving tip
Decant for about one hour and serve around 17–18°C to allow the aromas of cherry, spice, and earth to open fully.
