Casanova di Neri 'Giovanni Neri', Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, Italy 2019 1.5L
Brunello Giovanni Neri expresses our tradition and winemaking philosophy, and embraces the values of sustainability, and the territory’s uniqueness. After fifty years from the purchase of the first vineyard, Giacomo, Giovanni and Gianlorenzo named this wine as Casanova di Neri’s founder. A remarkable wine, a pure Sangiovese’s expression born out of an ancient, untamed vineyard with half-century old vines spread over a great winegrowing terroir. While bringing together tradition and innovation is anything but an easy task, the Giovanni Neri manages that with an unmistakable elegance.
100% Sangiovese
It shows a bright ruby red colour. The nose displays nuances of cherry, white flowers; red orange notes appear with a bit of aeration. The palate has a perfect balance, it is creamy and juicy and reveals marked hints of red berries. The finish is savoury with a great purity. We already foresee the excellence of the vintage 2019 but this Brunello will be amazing after a few years in the bottle.
" A rich red/garnet color, the 2019 Brunello Di Montalcino Giovanni Neri is a muscular and highly expressive, moody wine with layered and compelling aromas of cigar box, fresh tobacco leaf, dried currants, worn leather, crushed stones, and salted orange peel. Mouthwatering and structured, it has a chiseled structure with ripe tannins and mouthwatering, fresh acidity, and it’s long on the palate." Jeb Dunnuck 98+
