Product Notes

La Spinetta Il Nero di Casanova is a tantalising Italian wine, known for its rich, yet beautifully balanced composition. It originates in Tuscany, crafted from Sangiovese and Colorino grapes, embodying a perfect fusion of fruity and spiced nuances. Think blackberries, cherries, and hints of pepper – a genuine treat for the palate. The wine flaunts a rich ruby red hue and possesses an enticing aroma that exudes a leathery, vanilla undertone. On the palate, it is pleasantly dry, exhibiting a compact and warm fullness. Its remarkable complexity and lengthy finish make it a wonderful companion for rich, hearty meals.

Tasting 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 tradionally 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.
