Casisano
Brunello di Montalcino 2019
Brunello di Montalcino DOCG
This elegant, traditional style Brunello is produced at a mid-sized estate located in the southern hills of Montalcino, between the towns of Sant’ Angelo in Colle and Castelnuovo dell’Abate, one of the most quintessentially picturesque areas in Tuscany.
Vineyard
The Casisano vineyard enjoys southeastern exposure and is composed of various soil types. It is particularly rich in galestro stone.
Winemaking
The wine sees 25 days of skin maceration and is then aged in Slavonian oak casks for 3 years, followed by an additional six months of bottle aging.
Vintage
In 2019, a rainy and cool spring followed by a very warm summer, led to ideal harvest conditions in the beginning of October.
Tasting Note
Intense ruby in color, it opens to the nose with an elegant complexity with characteristic aromas of fresh red fruit and spicy notes. Harmonic to the taste, it in fact has a great tannic structure and an excellent acidity; it presents an excellent and long aromatic persistence both on the nose and in the mouth, with marked characteristics of elegance and minerality, all elements of extraordinary longevity.

"Fresh and vivid"
James Suckling - January 9, 2024
"Black cherries and blueberries with walnut and lavender undertones. Medium body with very fine tannins that run the length of the wine and caress every inch of your palate. Fresh and vivid. A wine for the cellar, but already fantastic to taste." - J.S. 9/23
"Herbal-tinged wild berry"
Vinous - January 11, 2024
"The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino wafts up with a pretty blend of dried strawberries and cedary spice offset by lifting menthol and violet pastille aromas. This is juicy in character with herbal-tinged wild berry fruits and nervous acidity, all spiced up by a zesty touch of tangerine. The 2019 finishes fresh with a vivid red licorice tinge. Orange notes fade amongst subtly grippy tannins." - E.G. 12/23

Lively and elegant, Casisano Rosso has a round medium body, with soft and velvety tannins, and the wine perfectly and faithfully reflects Montalcino's unique terroir.
