Cherry, flower and cedar aromas follow through to a full body with lots of pure and juicy fruit character. Creamy and savory with a crushed bean and cherry aftertaste. Defining today’s Brunello with purity and perfection of fruit. Making the most of an outstanding vintage. A selection from a seven-hectare parcel of 50-year-old vines. Drink after 2026.

Wow, this wine steals the show. A new addition to the Casanova di Neri portfolio now in its second year, the 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Giovanni Neri pays tribute to Giacomo Neri's father and represents a stylistic shift to the most elegant side of Montalcino. The wine reveals a very nuanced bouquet with toasted cherry pit, Luxardo syrup and balsam herb. There is dark slate and stony mineral that dovetail into a very clean and pretty earthiness. The tannins are slightly sweeter compared to other wines from this vintage, and there are fragrant tones of heritage rose and lilac. The ratio between tannin and fruit is excellent, and I can see this wine aging long into the future. Production is 9,600 bottles.

Producer
Casanova di Neri
One of the region’s most impressive up-and-comers, Casanova di Neri was founded in 1971 by Giovanni Neri. Today, the Montalcino estate is run by Giovanni’s son – Giacomo Neri. Home to over 500 hectares, of which 63 are vineyards, Casanova di Neri’s property is broken up into 7 vineyards in the Montalcino region – Fiesole, Poderuccio, Podernuovo, Le Cetine, Pietradonice, Cerratalto and Spereta. As one of Italy’s most respected wineries, they craft a wholesome selection of wines - including a white blend of Vermentino and Grechetto, as well as a few easy drinking reds produced from Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese and/or Colorino and of course, a handful of top Brunellos. Renowned for their elegant, modern style, Casanova di Neri remains as one of the leading producers – producing powerful, lush wines year after year. Their most exclusive and rich Brunellos are single-vineyard bottlings – Tenuta Nuova and Cerretalto.
