Casanova Di Neri Irrosso 2023

The 2023 vintage in Tuscany was marked by a cooler, wetter spring, which delayed budbreak and flowering. Summer brought moderate warmth with intermittent rain, creating a growing environment that required attentive vineyard management but ultimately led to balanced ripening and healthy fruit. Thanks to the estate's skillful handling and high-altitude vineyard sites, the fruit retained vibrant acidity, moderate sugar levels, and pure aromatics—ideal for producing a fresh, fruit-driven wine like Irrosso. The vintage is already showing great freshness and clarity, especially in early-drinking wines.

Tasting Notes:
The 2023 Irrosso opens with inviting aromas of crushed red berries, rose petals, and a hint of fresh herbs. On the palate, it is juicy and energetic, showcasing flavors of sour cherry, raspberry, a touch of spice, and subtle minerality. The tannins are smooth and integrated, supported by a lively acidity that keeps the wine light on its feet and food-friendly. The finish is clean, refreshing, and marked by notes of red plum, earth, and a gentle floral lift.

Serving Suggestions:
Serve Casanova di Neri Irrosso 2023 slightly cooler than a typical red, at around 16–17°C (60–63°F) to highlight its freshness and fruit character. No decanting is necessary just pop and pour.
