While in university, this consignor began to cook and enjoyed pairing food and wine. He took WSET courses and started his collection in 2010. He was initially drawn to Italian wine because of his heritage but soon branched out to other regions to balance his collection and has always been careful of where he sources his bottles. Residing in Calgary, he purchased from local stores and restaurants, and direct from wineries. His collection has been stored in his temperature-controlled cellar.
The tasting note for 2007 Casanova di Neri Cerretalto Brunello di Montalcino DOCG is from Robert Parker and the score is 97 - This has always been one of my favorite vintages of this spectacular single-vineyard wine from Montalcino. In fact, I had previously scored the 2007 Brunello di Montalcino Cerretalto a perfect 100-points before I started working for Robert Parker Wine Advocate. I am tempted to do the same here, save for the fact I have the memory of the 2010 vintage with that super firm and precise elegance so fresh in my mind. This wine is larger, richer and more textured. There is a broader, looser quality to this wine's fruity extraction and composition. This expression has more meat or flesh on those bones. Giacomo Neri does some of his best work in these warm vintages that add so much fruit and balsam-like intensity. The 2007 Cerretalto is drinking beautifully right now, and I have no doubt that it will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. It has entered what I believe will be a long and successful drinking plateau.
