La Spinetta Il Nero di Casanova 2019

Sangiovese from Tuscany, Italy

Winemaker Notes

It’s safe to say that this wine is the most representative wine from the Casanova estate. Its name ‘Nero,’ derives from “vino nero” which is what Tuscan red wines were traditionally called. On the nose it expresses hints of blackberries, blueberries, and ripe cherries with slight spicy notes. Upon tasting it displays a full body with a very immersive character. The tannins are velvety and in perfect harmony with extraordinary freshness. The excellent acidity makes for a wonderful finish.

Wine Enthusiast – 90 Points

Vibrant wild strawberries and ripe cherry tomatoes give way to savory aromas of grilled meat, mushrooms and balsamic vinegar on the nose before the palate returns to the strawberries and gives them a pop of acidity and firm tannins.

Food Pairing 

Pairs well with pheasant casserole or Spaghettone cacio e pepe.
