IL NERO DI CASANOVA 08
WINE ADVOCATE 90 POINTS - “The estate’s 2008 Il Nero di Casanova (Sangiovese) presents an intriguing profile of dark cherries, leather, licorice and tobacco, all of which come together in a medium-bodied, relatively delicate frame that is typical of Sangiovese. The Nero shows lovely inner sweetness and perfume through to the long finish. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2016.”The Tuscan project dates to 2001 when Giorgio Rivetti acquired 160 acres near Pisa. There is no Merlot or Cab planted on the estate and no “Super Tuscan” planned for the future. Giorgio Rivetti’s ambitions are to lower yields, constantly improve the farming, and bring to light the character of Regional varieties without International style blending.
