Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino White Label 2017

Jacky Blisson MW

A powerful, aromatic wine redolent with a myriad of ripe red fruit, exotic spice, and citrus oil. The palate is weighty, yet well defined, with diffuse, chalky tannins and a beautifully fresh, hugely persistent finish

Houlberg

Det er duftmæssigt sure kirsebær, svesker, ribs, gran og så ellers godt med knuste blomster, roser, violer, enebær og røg, suppleret med godt med mineraler. Det er syrligt, luftigt og har samtidig en rigtig bred malerrulle, der rækker ud til folk, som ikke nødvendigvis er vinnørder, men bare vil nyde et godt glas. Dette er dog langt mere og selv hardnittere må overgive sig og blive imponeret. I munden er det lidt det samme … surkirsebærfriskhed, hindbær, svesker og ribs, rå champignon, karamel, mandler og så igen pænt med blomster … friske og tørrede. Der er vildt stramme tanniner og kæmpe tørhed, hvilket bider og river på vidunderlig vis. Sikke syre og sikke struktur … smukkeste Brunello di Montalcino. 95 point. Forhandles af Supervin, hvor en flaske koster 429,95 kr., mens prisen er 349,95 kr. ved køb af 6 flasker.

Another bottle of great completeness, from a winery that is showing one of the evolutionary lines of the denomination. Nose of arbutus, with touches of gardenia and juniper and finish of blood orange peel. The mouthfeel is crisp and taut with sapid tannins and a fruity-balsamic finish.

International Wine Report

Sweet and fulfilling in the sensory profile showing notes of red prunes, sweet caramel, white almonds, magnolia and gardenia flowers. Full bodied, softly structured and enveloping it hides strength and precision of execution. A finale of medium length that will come out over time. In 2017 Cerretalto wasn’t produced so all the grapes went into this white label.

Intravino

Elegance and pleasantness, agile strawberry and lively purple, peony, black pepper, blood and iron the finish, well balanced.

Din VinGuide

Moderne næse med lidt syltet frugt og god intensitet. Smagen står præcist og elegant med optimalt modnet frugt. Velbalanceret og ren i hele sit udtryk. Lidt mynte og urter til at supplere den modne frugt. Masser af dybde i afslutningen

Mad og Monopolet

Fremragende Brunello, som virkelig viser, hvad Sangiovese-druen kan! Skønneste duft af kirsebær, jordbær, læder, tobak og mørk chokolade. I munden er den fyldig, hvor du fornemmer en lækker fylde med smag af bær samt blide tanniner og en skøn afsluttende syre.

Vinous

Dusty florals, musky cherry and raspberry with hints of mentholated herbs waft up from the 2017 Brunello di Montalcino. This is enveloping and soft, with sweet exotic spices and juicy, vibrant acidity giving way to tart wild berries and rosy inner florals. There’s amazing length, hard red candies and violets, and sweet tannin that goes on and on, creating a somewhat chewy yet also fresh expression. The 2017 benefits from all of the fruit that would usually go into the single-vineyard Cerretalto Brunello, though even with it, production is down by 35%. That said, this is stunning juice.

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.
