Casanova di Neri Cerretalto Brunello di Montalcino 卡薩瓦諾瓦酒莊 賽拉托布魯奈羅紅葡萄酒 2012

Casanova di Neri is a prestigious Italian winery located in the heart of the Montalcino region in Tuscany. With a rich history dating back to the 1970s, Casanova di Neri has established itself as a benchmark producer of exceptional wines. Their vineyards are meticulously cultivated, and their winemaking philosophy revolves around expressing the unique terroir of Montalcino. Casanova di Neri is particularly renowned for their Brunello di Montalcino, a wine that embodies elegance, complexity, and longevity. Their portfolio also includes other remarkable wines like Rosso di Montalcino and single-vineyard selections. Casanova di Neri wines are highly sought after by wine enthusiasts worldwide, offering a true taste of Italian winemaking excellence.

The 2012 Cerretalto is a wine with a strong charisma, in which the main traits of every Cerretalto joined together: richness, pleasantness together with freshness and elegance.
It shows a very young and brilliant ruby red. The nose is mineral and charismatic, with an intense red fruit melted with chocolate, liquorice and followed by hints of citrus, smoky notes and the unmistakable graphite. Long and wide in the mouth, this wine has a thick and dense tannic texture enhanced by the finesse and silkiness. Endless aftertaste. It should be opened 3 hours in advance at the right service temperature.

2012 winter was considered mild until February, when snow and frost hit the area quite heavily. Those conditions provided some water storage in the ground for the rest of the growing season and let the grapes ripen slowly and regularly. Spring and summer were quite dry meaning lower yields compared to previous vintages.

The Wine Advocate 98 points:
“The 2012 Brunello di Montalcino Cerretalto offers a prolonged, flowing and carefully massaged drinking experience that drapes over the senses with some studied intensity and lots of intriguing complexity. This wine nails that perfect balance between power and elegance (that elusive exchange that so many winemakers hope to achieve) with effortless precision. Bold cherry fruit and spice are tightly woven together. In the mouth, the wine shows texture, depth and succulence. Generally speaking, this is not my favorite vintage in Montalcino, but this wine suddenly made me forget that thought.” - Tasted on Mar 02, 2018 Monica Larner

James Suckling 97 points:
“The density is so impressive in this great single-vineyard wine of Casanova. It's full yet agile at the same time. Shows such integrated tannins and fresh acidity at the finish. Energized and focused. Tangy and citrusy. Mineral undertone. One of the great Brunellos of 2012.” - Tasted on Dec 17, 2018 James Suckling

Casanova di Neri（卡薩諾瓦迪內里）是位於托斯卡納蒙塔爾奇諾地區心臟地帶的一家聲譽卓著的意大利酒莊。自1970年代以來，卡薩諾瓦迪內里已成為卓越葡萄酒的基準生產商。他們的葡萄園被精心栽培，他們的釀酒理念圍繞著展現蒙塔爾奇諾獨特的風土。卡薩諾瓦迪內里尤其以他們的布魯內洛蒙塔爾奇諾聞名，這款葡萄酒具有優雅、複雜和長壽的特點。他們的產品組合還包括其他卓越的葡萄酒，如Rosso di Montalcino和單一葡萄園系列。卡薩諾瓦迪內里的葡萄酒在全球的葡萄酒愛好者中受到極高的追捧，為人們帶來真正的意大利釀酒卓越品味。

2012年的Cerretalto是一款具有強烈個性的葡萄酒，其中每一瓶Cerretalto的主要特點匯聚在一起：豐富、愉悅，同時保持著新鮮和優雅的特點。
它呈現出非常年輕和明亮的寶石紅色。香氣有礦物感且具有個性，濃縮的紅色水果與巧克力、甘草融合在一起，並帶有柑橘、煙熏的氣息以及獨特的石墨味道。口感長而寬廣，這款葡萄酒有著濃厚而緻密的單寧質地，更顯出其細膩和柔滑。回味無窮。建議提前3小時打開並以正確的服務溫度享用。

2012年的冬季在2月之前被認為是溫和的，然而隨後的降雪和霜冻相當嚴重。這些條件為整個生長季節提供了一些地下水儲存，讓葡萄慢慢而有規律地成熟。春季和夏季相當乾燥，這意味著與之前的年份相比產量較低。

《葡萄酒倡導者》98分：
「2012年的蒙塔爾奇諾（Brunello di Montalcino）切雷塔爾托（Cerretalto）提供了一種持久、流暢且精心打造的品味體驗，以深入人心的濃郁感和引人入勝的複雜性覆蓋著感官。這款酒以毫不費力的精確度達到了力量與優雅之間的完美平衡（這是許多釀酒師都希望達到的難以捉摸的轉換）。濃郁的櫻桃果味和香料相互交織。口感上，這款酒展示了質感、深度和多汁感。一般來說，這不是我在蒙塔爾奇諾最喜歡的年份，但這款酒突然讓我忘記了那個想法。」- Monica Larner於2018年3月2日品評

詹姆斯·薩克林（James Suckling）97分：
「卡薩諾瓦迪內里（Casanova di Neri）這款出色的單一葡萄園葡萄酒的濃度令人印象深刻。它既豐滿又敏捷。收尾時展現出如此融合的單寧和清新的酸度。充滿活力和聚焦。帶有柑橘和檸檬的酸味。帶有礦物質底調。這是2012年的偉大布魯奈羅之一。」- James Suckling於2018年12月17日品評
