Tasting Notes

"Shows fine depth, with cherry, black currant and wild herb flavors, accented by iron, earth, leather and tobacco notes. Muscular, despite a slim frame, with a long, savory aftertaste."

95 points - Wine Spectator, June 2021

"The 2016 vintage was marked by significant day and nighttime temperature differences. Gianlorenzo Neri says this was particularly pronounced in Montalcino’s northeast, where the vineyards for the estate’s ‘white label’ are found. With beautiful focus off the bat, this grabs your attention immediately. Black raspberry and wild cherry give way to liquorice, wet stones and smoke. The fruit is velvety, but quickly hemmed in by powdery, grippy tannins which retreat a bit on the finish, likes waves, leaving rose and violets in their wake. Vibrant and racy."

95 Points - Decanter, March 2021

The Producer

Casanova di Neri

Casanova di Neri was founded in 1971 by Giovanni Neri, a man with incredible vision and passion, and who understood the huge potential of wine in the Montalcino territory. Production started in the Eastern part of Montalcino and was extended later into other areas. The first vineyard was Cerretalto, a unique terroir in a natural amphitheatre over the Asso river. Here, the old vines produced a very unique style of Sangiovese, with small bunches, from which a selective variety was grown that was used in other vineyards, particularly in Tenuta Nuova. Currently the estate covers a surface of around 500 hectares of which 63 are vineyards and 20 are olive groves.
