"Produced since 1978, enjoy this 100% Sangiovese typical of the region, rated 94+ by Wine Advocate!"
Casanova di Neri's 2017 Brunello di Montalcino offers unexpected grace and a floral profile that is not commonly found in this hot, 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 fresh garden rose or lilac. This small moment changes the momentum of this wine in a very positive way, allowing for 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 for a 2017 Brunello. It's a nice surprise. 2024-2038" (Robert Parker 2022)

Wine rated (2022 guide) 17,5/20
About wine:
Medium ruby color. Intense nose of sweet fruit with a hint of oak, but otherwise still a little closed. Concentrated and deep on the palate with sweet and sour cherry flavors and fine but firm tannins. Very long and elegant rather than powerful. 2022-2030
Vinous
Wine rated (2017 guide) 92/100
About wine:
Dusty flowers, musky cherries, and raspberries with hints of minty herbs escape from the Brunello di Montalcino 2017. This wine is enveloping and smooth, with sweet exotic spices and a juicy, vibrant acidity that gives way to tart wild berries and pink interior flowers. The length is astonishing, with hard red candies and violets, and soft tannins that linger, creating a somewhat chewy but also fresh expression. That said, this is a stunning wine. 2024-2029

About wine:
A firm and chewy 2017, slightly austere, but offering a lively palate full of black fruit. The palate ranges from medium-bodied to full-bodied. Try after 2023.
