Description
The most recent creation for Casanova di Neri is the IrROSSO. This celebrated result is a union between Sangiovese and small addition of our own grapes from different varieties: it gives the idea of a young red, significant but with easy drinkability and is linked to the characteristics of its native territory, with an unforgettable Casanova di Neri stamp.
APPELLATION Toscana IGT
GRAPE VARIETY Sangiovese
VINIFICATION Manual selection of the grapes before and after destemming, followed by a spontaneus fermentation without the addition of artificial yeast. Maceration is assisted by a falling down system, and everything is carried out inside open cone-shaped and temperature controlled fermenters for 13 days.
AGEING IN OAK BARRELS FOR 15 months
SERVICE TEMPERATURE C° 16-17°
TASTING NOTES The 2016 vintage gave a very drinkable Irrosso but capable of developing in to a richer wine over the years. The high pleasantness is combined with balance, harmony and velvety tannins typical of all Casanova di Neri wines.
The notes of cherry and violet prevail on small red fruits and balsamic hints while on the palate is a good balance between acidity and sweetness of tannins with a moderate alcoholic impact. Finish is bright and clean.
Ready to drink but able to age in the bottle for some years according to our philosophy.
