Tasting Notes

"The Casanova di Neri 2017 Brunello di Montalcino delivers unexpected grace and a floral profile that is not common to find in this scorching-hot and dry vintage. In faithful Casanova di Neri fashion, the wine is bold and dark in appearance, and although the bouquet is dominated by purple and black fruits, there is a brief interlude of fresh garden rose or lilac. That little moment changes up the momentum of this wine in a most positive way by allowing for a harmony of low tones and high tones that are well matched here. The wine is robust, structured and velvety to the palate, but ultimately this expression is far more delicate than I would have ever expected for a 2017 Brunello. This is a nice surprise."

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.
