98 James Suckling
A muscular single-vineyard Brunello. Intense aromas of dark cherries, spearmint, lilacs and sandalwood. Full-bodied with a tight and compacted palate, chewy tannins and a fresh and tense finish. Needs time to soften and come together. Best after 2028.

The Casanova di Neri 2021 Brunello di Montalcino Giovanni Neri offers a bright, punchy profile with notes of sweet almond, cassis and blue flower. You get what appears to be partial whole-cluster lift. The tannins are well polymerized, though a touch of rigidity remains and will need time to soften. The finish is medium in length and polished. Sourced from the latest parcel (in the Sesti area) added to the estate portfolio, this is intended as a more nuanced and age-worthy interpretation of Sangiovese. The wine matures for 30 months in tonneaux, and production is limited to 8,400 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.
