Casanova di Neri Tenuta Nuova Brunello di Montalcino 2017

Drink now or cellar for up to 20 years.
Decanting time: 3 hours

An unforgettable experience from one of the more prestigious labels in wine production: Casanova Di Neri. This vintage is made exclusively from Sangiovese grapes is a modern approach to the traditional Brunello which fabulously expands the potential for what this grape varietal has to offer. The dense nose and concentrated palate are boldly enhanced by strong, rich notes of red and black fruit. Opulent aromatic impressions of tar, leather and licorice enhance the palate for an effortless, full mouthfeel that is perfectly grounded by well-integrated tannins and good acidity. This Brunello has excellent, impressive depth and focus and a good core and structure to present a daringly perfect balance. A powerful, persistent personality gradually exposes layers of chocolate and spice, unearthing a succulent, complex minerality. One of the distinctive delights of the Tenuta Nuova Brunello is its characteristically exceptional, long, compelling finish.

Very approachable now, especially when given the appropriate time for decanting. A top notch collector’s wine that promises to delight for years to come, making it an enjoyable addition to an enthusiast’s quality wine cellar. This bold, full-bodied wine is enrichened when paired with fish, game, pork, veal or beef. Simply put: this wine is fantastico.
