2021 Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino Alban Vineyards cherry and bark character onThe 2021 Brunello Di Montalcino comes from a warm but not extreme growing season, helped by timely rain and a normal harvest window. It pours a deep ruby red hue and opens with black raspberries, violets, fresh earth, licorice, and rosemary. Medium to full bodied, it feels more vertical and energetic than the 2020, with a bright spine of acidity, well defined tannins, and a long, focused finish that stays light on its feet.
