Tasting Notes
The Casanova di Neri 2017 Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova is graced with a similar interlude of elegant rose or crushed flower that we saw in the annata wine. It appears more prominently here, and with more shape and focused intensity. Make no mistake, Giacomo Neri builds wines for pleasure and sensual impact, and this wine ticks all those boxes. But it also shows floral elegance and sour cherry freshness that defies our expectations of the vintage.
This is one of my all-time favorite Brunellos, and although personal tastes are fluid and may change from time to time, there is something timeless and solid about this wine. It's like a touchstone. - (96pts) Monica Larner
Situated in the northeastern sector of Montalcino, Casanova di Neri meticulously tends to seven distinct vineyards across the region – from Fiesole, Poderuccio, Le Cetine, to Montalcino. This strategic approach enables the creation of several well-balanced unique wines , consistently reflecting the diverse soils, exposures, microclimates, and vine ages, defining the unique identity of each vintage. These wines possess an enchanting allure, evoking imagination.
Established in 1971 by Giovanni Neri, the visionary torchbearer for the potential of Montalcino's wine territory, the legacy seamlessly passed on to his son, Giacomo, in 1991. The journey began in the eastern part of Montalcino and expanded into other areas, acquiring unique terroirs such as Cerretalto, Le Cetine, Pietradonice, and Podernovo. The pursuit of optimal soil and exposures results in wines that are both unique and unmistakably identifiable. The estate's recognition by national and international wine critics underscores its notable contribution to the region.
