Casanova di Neri, Pietradonice Vintage:2001 This lovely effort will needFantastic aromas of crushed blackberry, raspberry and cherry follow through to a full bodied palate, with a solid core of tannins and a long, long finish. Dense yet refined, with excellent richness and structure. This is stunning and only the second year from Brunello's great producer. 95 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 5 percent Sangiovese.
