With Pietradonice, Casanova di Neri makes a great international variety its own. Cabernet Sauvignon is well known for its ability to reflect, interpret and be forged by a territory. Casanova di Neri’s expertise in the vineyard and the cellar prove, once again, how a unique terroir can craft unique wines. A wine of decisive character and striking personality is the child of a special microclimate and a soil found nowhere else, one that contains the fragments of onyx that lend their name both to the vineyard and the wine itself. This is a magnificent red of immense depth, with huge aromas, fragrance and flavors. Its tannins are supremely elegant, conveying a sweet aftertaste that lingers in the mouth.

The 2019 Giovanni Neri Toscana IGT is a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from an excellent vintage marked by mild winter temperatures, a cool rainy spring delaying budbreak slightly, and a warm dry summer allowing ideal ripening. The grapes were manually harvested in late September, undergoing spontaneous fermentation and frequent remontage before 18 months of aging in oak barrels. The deep ruby wine shows an expressive nose of dark fruits, licorice and currants leading to a full-bodied, velvety palate with well-integrated tannins and bright acidity balancing the powerful structure. 

Blackcurrants, hints of chocolate and black licorice with some violet undertones. Full-bodied with linear, tight tannins that give the wine tension and structure. Needs time to open and soften. Best after 2025.
