Tasting Notes
The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Giovanni Neri pulls the taster down to earth as whiffs of sous-bois, ashen stones and animal musk dissipate to reveal layers of dried black cherry, lavender and rubbed sage. It's silken in feel, with hints of polished ripe red and blue fruit. A liquid floral concentration adds youthful tension. Structured, long and quite potent, it has sweet and round tannins that taper off with citrus-infused black currant and exotic spice aromas. The Giovanni Neri hails from nearly 50-year-old vines near Castelnuovo dell'Abate. It's a showstopper. - Importer Note.
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.
