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.

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. Drink or hold.
93 Vinous
The 2017 Brunello di Montalcino Cascina Nuova lifts up with a layered display of peppery herbs, musky plums, black raspberry, crushed stone, tobacco and smoke. It’s silky yet juicy, pliant and staining to the senses, offering violet and lavender tones balanced by cooling acids and hints of candied citrus. The 2017 really plays with the palate; it’s spicy, long and intense, and lightly structured yet classically dry. Balsamic herbs, salted licorice – it goes on and on like a spice box menagerie. An elegant pleasure bomb.
93 Wine Spectator
Expressive, complex and long, despite its compact profile today. Delivers black cherry, blackberry, violet, mineral and tobacco flavors that prevail, while assertive yet refined tannins leave their mark on the lingering finish. Best from 2025 through 2042.

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.
