Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova 2017

GardiniNotes.com

A project of great ambition for a wine now iconic. The nose is taut, vertical, with evidence of raspberry, balsamic touches of eucalyptus and a floral, tulip finish. The mouthfeel is crisp and dense, with saline-brackish tannins. The officinal trace return in the aftertaste.

”Dark to the eye but bright. Intriguing nose with ripe cherries, a balanced smoke and officinal notes that lighten and broaden the sensations. Wide, juicy and well-balanced taste texture with youthful but integrated tannins that give the progression elegance on warm notes to the aftertaste. A salty touch in the finish gives agility. A wine that continues to amaze, becoming more and more clean.”

Robert Parker

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. 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 (helped by a hot growing season and 15% alcohol) ticks all those boxes. But it also shows floral elegance and sour cherry freshness that defies our expectations of the vintage.

International Wine Report

Graphite, talcum and chalk are the primary scents of remarkable beauty and rarity which describe the primary profile of this young Brunello. In the secondary matrix notes of salted caramel, chopped almonds and mixed white flowers which suggest magnolia, hawthorn and jasmine slowly emerge. Full bodied, fine grain soft tannins and a juicy, biting finale which motivates a return to the glass. Professionals in a difficult year.

James Suckling

Lots of red plums and cherries on the nose with a palate that has a full body, thick silky tannins and a fresh and flavorful finish. The tannins are in good balance against the ripe fruit. Fresh and transparent at the end.
