"Produced since 1978, enjoy this 100% Sangiovese typical of the region rated 94+ by the Wine Advocate!"

"Casanova di Neri's 2017 Brunello di Montalcino offers an unexpected grace and floral profile not commonly found in this scorching, dry vintage. True to Casanova di Neri, 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 garden-fresh rose or lilac. This little moment changes the momentum of this wine in a very positive way, allowing a harmony between the low and high tones that are well matched here. The wine is robust, structured and velvety on the palate, but ultimately this expression is much more delicate than I would have expected from a 2017 Brunello. It's a lovely surprise. 2024-2038" (Robert Parker 2022)

Wine rated (guide 2022) 17,5/ 20

About the wine:

Bright medium ruby. Intense nose of sweet fruit with a hint of oak, but otherwise still a little closed. Concentrated, deep sweet-and-sour cherry palate with fine but firm tannins. Very long and elegant rather than powerful. 2022-2030

Wine rated (2017 guide) 92/100

About the wine:

Dusty flowers, musky cherries and raspberries with hints of mentholated herbs emerge from the 2017 Brunello di Montalcino. This wine is enveloping and soft, with sweet exotic spices and juicy, vibrant acidity that gives way to tart wild berries and rosy inner flowers. The length is astonishing, with hard red candy and violets, and soft tannins that don't stop, creating a somewhat chewy, but also fresh expression. That said, this is a stunning wine. 2024-2029

About the wine:

A firm, chewy 2017, slightly austere, but offering a lively palate full of black fruit. Medium- to full-bodied on the palate. Try after 2023.
