One of Montalcino's most exciting traditional producers — in one of its greatest modern vintages.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003ePurchased in 2008 by an American devotee of traditional Brunello, Casanuova delle Cerbaie has been meticulously farmed ever since — sustainable agriculture, 100% hand harvesting, and long aging in large Slavonian oak botti, followed by several more years of bottle rest before release. Old-school Brunello made without compromise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe fruit for this bottling draws from two historic estate vineyards in northern Montalcino — including a portion of the famed Montosoli hill — planted on calcareous, marl, and argillaceous soils from the Eocene period at 250–300 meters elevation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAshen earth and smoke give way to black cherries, incense, and exotic spice as the 2016 blossoms in the glass, flooding the palate with rich, velvety textures and a dense display of mineral-tinged dark fruits, offset by vibrant acidity and bright citrus. Its tannic structure builds only through the finish — a reminder that this elegant wine still has decades ahead of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eFresh and floral, gaining speed through the finish. Best from 2024 through 2040. Decant generously — or better yet, lay it down for another five years and be rewarded handsomely.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Casanuova delle Cerbaie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45802835280058,"sku":"103936","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0724\/6836\/5498\/files\/09ebf2ae86d5671126c51397be6f7e53.jpg?v=1777129806","url":"https:\/\/bassins.com\/products\/2016-casanuova-delle-cerbaie-brunello-di-montalcino-750ml","provider":"MacArthur Beverages","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
