This wine is from Italy, Tuscany region, Brunello Di Montalcino sub-region. Casanova di Neri was founded in 1971 by Giovanni Neri. Located in Montalcino, Italy, the 120 acre estate is dividedinto four distinct sites - Pietradonice in Castelnuovo dellAbate, Cetine in S. Angelo in Colle, Cerretalto and Fiesole.The winery produces three categories of Brunello: White Label, Tenuta Nuova and Cerretalto. Currently, the estateis managed by Giovannis son, Giacomo and consultant Carlo Ferrini who produce traditional wines that aresuperior expressions of terroir with good structure and judicious use of oak.. Effusive aromas of ripe cherry, plum tart and cedar lead to a macerated cherry flavor, with plenty of spice accents as this gains steam. Just a touch hot on the balance now, with assertive tannins, yet this blossoms after a few hours in the glass. Best from 2015 through 2030.-B.S. Fruit from densely planted, earlier ripening vineyards located in the southern end of the appellation was harvested,macerated and fermented for 23 days. The wine aged for 30 months in small oak barrels and 18 months in bottle.. Medium red. Very rich aromas of plum, mocha, dried flowers, underbrush and leather, along with a liqueur-like suggestion of marc de Chateauneuf. Supple, plush and highly concentrated, with superripe fruit flavors slightly leavened by harmonious acidity. A distinctly viscous, fruit-driven wine that could use a bit more class and definition but will please fans of outsized Brunello. Finishes with a bit of youthful aggressiveness.
