notes by Giovanni Neri
A vintage of great elegance and freshness, characterized by the usual great drinkability and pleasantness of each Irrosso di Casanova di Neri. At sight it presents itself with the usual purplish ruby red, intense and bright. On the nose, intense small red fruits prevail, followed by spicy notes and a great aromatic harmony. On the palate it is soft and with an excellent tannic structure, enveloping and highly drinkable.

vintage notes
Winter 2022 was characterized by low temperatures and almost no precipitation. Bud break occurred in the first week of April, on average with previous years. Spring continued with above average temperatures which favored vegetative development and early flowering. May and June were dry with classic summer temperatures. The rains that arrived at the end of July and August allowed the vines to complete maturation in a balanced and constant way. The harvest began in the first ten days of September.

harvest
Manual in September.

winemaking
Manual selection of grapes before and after destemming. Spontaneous fermentation follows without the use of added yeasts and maceration aided by frequent punching down. Everything takes place in open truncated cone steel vats at a controlled temperature for 13 days.
