Casanova di Neri, Pietradonice Vintage:2001 On the palate there isFantastic 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. Best after 2007. 985 cases made. JS
