How does this wine taste?
How full and heavy the wine feels in your mouth, like the difference between skimmed milk and cream. More alcohol, sugar and oak ageing make a wine fuller.
The drying, grippy feel on your gums and tongue, as with strong tea. It comes from the skins and seeds of black grapes and from oak, and softens with age.
How much sugar you taste, from dry to sweet. Fruity is not the same as sweet: a dry wine can taste of ripe fruit.
How fresh and juicy the wine is: acidity makes your mouth water. High acidity tastes lively and refreshing, low acidity soft and round.

Log inThis is one of the absolute top wines from Montalcino from the Casanova di Neri estate. This wine was the first Brunello where the highest quality was pursued and the land was worked with great respect. The grapes were picked by hand in September. The grapes were then fermented for a period of 23 days. The maturation of this wine took place for a period of 29 months in French oak barrels of 500 liters, after which the further maturation in the bottle was continued for at least another year. This producer belongs to the new generation of Brunello producers. The company was started in 1971, when Giovanni Neri bought the largest estate in the Montalcino area. The estate has a total of 39 hectares and is divided into 4 vineyards. The oldest vineyard is 50 years old. The vineyards are located at an altitude of approximately 350 meters above sea level. Casanova di Neri is one of the best producers of Brunello wines.
The 2017 Brunello di Montalcino Cascina Nuova soars with a layered display of peppery spice, musky plum, black raspberry, crushed stone, tobacco and smoke. It’s silky yet juicy, supple and sensual, with violet and lavender notes balanced by cooling acidity 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 bombshell of flavours and aromas.

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.

Full-bodied, with muscular tannins supporting a ripe and transparent core of dark cherry, plum and blueberry fruit. Balanced and well done for the vintage. Chewy. Drinkable now but better in a couple of years.

From: Jekyll and Hyde: 2017 Brunello di Montalcino and 2016 Riservas (Dec 2021)
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.

The Casanova di Neri winery is located in the northeast of Montalcino, on the road to Torrenieri. Surrounding the winery is their Fiesole vineyard, with its Galestro soils and elevations ranging up to 380 meters. Farther east, in fact as far east in Montalcino that you can go, they also tend the Cerretalto vineyard, which feeds their late-release cru wine. Here, elevations are lower, yet the soils are unique, almost red with iron, mixing galestro marl with alluvial stones, eroded rock and magnesium. It is also from this sight, using massal selection, that Giacomo Neri planted his other vineyards. Moving slightly to the west, Podernuovo brings its high-elevation fruit to the mix, situated between 420-490 meters. And then to the south, for its warmer climate, lower elevations and the plush contours they create. Here we find Cetine near Sant’Angelo and the Giovanni Neri vineyard on the road to Castelnuovo dell'Abate. In fact, it’s a total of seven vineyards that the Neri family uses to compose their Brunello portfolio. While Cerretalto brings the power and mineral intensity, and Tenuta Nuova brings the elegance and balanced opulence, it’s the Brunello di Montalcino (often referred to as the “White Label”), with its classic lines and vivid fruit profile, that is the overachiever. This is only possible through an intricate understanding of terroir and how to blend it to perfection. In 2023, we’ll also see the release of Giacomo Neri’s next cru Brunello, the Giovanni Neri, coming from their Castelnuovo dell'Abate location, and an acquired vineyard that was already planted with fifty-year- old vines (which is quite old by Montalcino standards). Until that time, we can all get a taste of this new location through the Rosso di Montalcino “Giovanni Neri”. Gianlorenzo Neri (Giacomo Neri’s son) described 2017 as “the most Mediterranean vintage ever”. The property experienced a 35% loss of production to maintain integrity of the wines, so the family decided to place all of the Cerretalto fruit into the “White Label” Brunello, giving it a serious boost in character. Not afraid of technology, the Neri family also depended on rigorous selection through optical sorting. In the end, whether you consider their more modern leanings a blessing or a curse, this family is making some of the best wine in Montalcino.

Casanova di Neri belongs to a new generation of Brunello producers. The company started in 1971, when Giovanni Neri bought the largest estate in the Montalcino area. The domain is a total of 39 hectares and is divided into 4 vineyards. The oldest vineyard is 50 years old. The vineyards are located at an altitude of about 350 meters above sea level. Casanova di Neri is one of the best producers of Brunello wines. The Tenuta Nuova belongs to their very best Brunello where everything is done to pursue the ultimate perfection.
Deze Brunello opent met zuivere donkere kers en pruim, violette en lavendeltonen, gerookte tabak en balsamische kruidigheid, ondersteund door rijpe tannines en verfrissende zuurgraad die een sensuele maar precieze structuur geven. Daardoor snijdt hij prachtig door het vet van rundvlees, lam en wild en vult hij de hartige tonen van gerijpte kazen en tomaatrijke pasta’s en pizza’s aan, terwijl de kruidigheid mooi aansluit bij rozemarijn, salie en zwarte peper. Ga voor gegrild of geroosterd vlees, langzaam gestoofde ragu of een kruimige lamsbout met kruidenkorst en serveer bij oude Pecorino of Parmigiano om het beste uit deze magnum te halen.
