Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova 2016

James Suckling

Aromas of blackberries, cherries, violets and bark with mahogany. It’s full-bodied and chewy with intense tannins that are layered and focused. The fruit is pure and purposeful, yet not over done. Wonderful strength and purity to this. Class is the word.

International Wine Report

Glowing and multifaceted, it displays a rich profile of dark notes of black plums, blackberries, black tea leaves, incense, dried camphor, orange blossom and cloves. Noble and centered the secondary profile that slowly reveals hints of turmeric, salted caramel and dehydrated banana. Full body, tannins of natural beauty that constitute the main backbone of this solid and compact Brunello and a sharp finish that closes fresh and decidedly vertical.

Som sin lillebror, men bare endnu mere intens og frisk. Sublim brunello! Supertoscaner i moderato, fad og poleret, men pur sangiovese, løftet og frisk, stor og klassisk med en lille varmende tone, der dog hurtigt overtages af medicinsk friskhed. Fremragende brunello.

This is one of my sweetheart wines from Montalcino. The Casanova di Neri 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova offers a long list of aromas on an ever-shifting and fluid bouquet. You get bright cherry, rose potpourri, black truffle, caramel, butterscotch, sandalwood, road pavement and chalky mineral. In fact, each time I come back to this wine, that mineral element seemed to grow in intensity and scope. The wine offers a grounded fruit side that is contrasted nicely against a grounded oak component. The mouthfeel is creamy and long, and the wine shows terrific tannic integration. When you come back hours later, you might find black olive, bresaola and licorice.
