Casanova di Neri Casanova di Neri Rosso di Montalcino, Italy, Tuscany, Montalcino, Rosso di Montalcino

Outstanding Brunello that is full bodied and complex with a long finish. Nose is classic Sangiovese Grosso. In the heart of rue drinking window but can certainly my age many more years in the cellar.

Showing really nice right now. Writing this after a 45min decant and it’s really starting to express itself with the unmistakeable scent of sun dried tomatoes, along with plenty of blood and iron, earth and sour cherry. Quintessential Brunello with good structure that leads with acidity, and then the med+ tannin creeps in. Goes down easy for 14.5 alcohol

2017 vintage

Complex Brunello with dark fruit, tobacco, and mineral nuances. Medium to full-bodied with great structure.

6 months ago I had a 2014 vintage with 94 points and I can tell you right away this is not the same wine. Why? No milk chocolate. The wine is more delicate with more cranberry than ripe red cherry. Raspberry and strawberry taste, but also a lot of tobacco and spice (interesting powerful tension) Very long finish with all above mentioned elements. The smell? I knew it would be a great wine because when I poured it from the …

Really delicious rendering of this wine. Good depth and intensity but acid keeps it fresh. Not as complex as better vintages but great at the price. Touch of barnyard as it opens but nothing too offensive

2017 vintage

Lovely notes of cumin and pineapple with a hint of chili. Aromas of spices all around.

2017 vintage

Cherry, strawberry, rose petal, leather with smoke. Mid+ acidity with dense tannin. Very approachable right after opening and stayed strong for 10+ hrs. Used to think this as inferior version of tenuta nuova but this bottle seemed nice with lighter and softer touch than that, with similar profile.

2017 vintage

I think this is like the 3rd wine of Casanova di Neri, but it certainly doesn't drink like it (I'm not sure because they have 4-5 Brunellos in their lineup). The initial pour reflected a very tight nose and a body that was silky and brick red but somehow, over the course of a couple of hours the color deepened and the wine took on more weight and presence in both the glass and on the palate. Tremendous mouthfeel coupled …

개인적으로도 꽤 만족스러웠던 와인이다. BDM 특유의 매력이 살아 있으면서도 빈티지의 개성과 와이너리만의 색깔이 잘 드러난다. 다만 가성비 측면에서는 "이 가격이면 다른 선택지도 많지 않을까?" 하는 분들도 있을 수 있으니 어느 정도 예산을 투자할 의향이 있는지에 따라 평가는 달라질 것 같다. 코를 대면 산딸기 같은 신선한 붉은 과실 향이 맹렬히 올라온다. 재미있었던 건 실제 딸기를 곁들이고 있었는데도 와인 쪽이 더 '딸기스러운' 느낌을 주더라는 점이다. 뒤이어 가볍게 민트 같은 화한 향도 스치는데, 코가 시원하게 뚫리는 느낌이다. Wine Advocate가 평한 "풍부한 과실미와 파워"가 …

2017 vintage

In great shape. Needed a bit of a decant. Medium plus body and very fruit forward. Enjoyed in a party for eight

2017 vintage

Decanted 3 hours. Upon decanting rich leather-bound book color w/strong fragrant red fruit aroma. Initial pour presents w/strong legs, nice light graphite & big cherries on the nose. Flavor of red licorice, cherries & plums w/balanced supple finish. Excellent wine. Served w/Beef tenderloin.

2017 vintage

Dried cherry and menthol notes with some tobacco and cigar box. Intense flavor and tannin on the palate with great balance.

2017 vintage

Ditto last note

2017 vintage

Very good paired with homemade ravioli pasta with marinara

2017 vintage

Decent Rosso with signs of ageing slowly kicking in.

2017 vintage

Top notch!

2017 vintage

Really enjoyed this. Decanted and definitely needs more time to open up. Nice tannins and acidity. Notes of plum, cherry, currant, and leather. Over the course of an hour, opened up nicely and was delicious at the end. 91 points.

2017 vintage

This is a very good one. I love the butterscotch coating of the red fruit beneath.

2017 vintage

Same notes as before

2017 vintage

Nice enjoyable high quality red. No brown or orange edges yet. Nevertheless I will make sure to drink my two remaijing ones within the next 2 years. Probably at its peak eight now. Would buy again for 18€.

2017 vintage

Medium dark ruby red with orange tint and pink rim. Dried red fruits, dark cherry, plum, prune, floral, tobacco, herbs, and earth. Medium-high acidity, high tannin, medium-full bodied, medium alcohol. Complex and balanced. Good structure, and long finish. This bottle is drinking well now with 2 hours of decanting. It would be better in a few years when the tannin softened.

2017 vintage

5th Nov 2023 Goes well with lamb shakshuka… Good nose with a medium finish..

This was my first bottle of a 1/2 case I purchased nine months ago. I am generally a fan of this brunello but this bottle, yesterday, was just harsh and disjointed. I started tasting after 2 hour slow ox and the tannins were very rough and I got a good bit of heat on the finish. I let it sit another hour and tried more, and the tannins did start to smooth out a bit. Recorked the bottle, let sit …

2017 vintage

91+. With air, this smoothed out and provided an earthy note on the finish.

2017 vintage

Consistent with prior notes - this wine is simply a delicious Brunello.

2017 vintage

Bought from Montalcino in 2020, shipped during summer and imperfectly stored, I was expecting the worst. But this was pure pleasure in the glass - reminiscent of the rich, glossy raspberry and cherry fruit of CdN's Tenuta Nuova Brunello with some meaty notes, dusty terracotta, quite prominent French oak - but the fruit has more than enough concentration to stand up to it. On the palate it's really quite structured - lots of acidity and a tannic structure that demands …

2017 vintage

Expressive nose with clay, rose petals, spices. Excellent structure, the tannins are well managed. Medium+ length, ver competent wine making.

2017 vintage

PnP. Nice nose. Palate mixed with fruit, spice, pepper with long finishing. Opened up after 30 min in the glass, and fade after 1:30 hour from opening

2017 vintage

€65 at Beef club, with tomahawk. Tasted on opening and it was quite tight and closed, but it opened up quickly after decanting. Good body, nice balance. Mature red fruits rather than bright and sweet. Lower acidity than we expected - perhaps the hot vintage? - leaving us missing the snap on the palate. Overall good but not what we had hoped.

2017 vintage

Same note as before but showing a lot of oak right now even on the second day. Still crowd pleasing and nice food wine.

2017 vintage

Better than expected. Lean but still texturally creamy with a decent amount of wood. Great compliment to food and crowd pleasing without being cloying.

2017 vintage

A very classic wine, dry with good acidity and a firm, bitter fruit, a real food wine, clean and very enjoyable. Will keep, but quite open.

2017 vintage

red & darker fruits, slight note of herbs, drying tannins, nice acidity.

2017 vintage

A delicate wine, rich in pleasant fruit of cherry and red berries; good structure and balance with some oak/wood notes. overall a good bottle that i would buy again.

2017 vintage

2017 in Brunello was very tough, with the heat spikes across the region do not expect to find wines of high quality, I personally prefer drinking wines from an off-vintage since it allows you to see the full potential of the vigneron, remember everyone can make good wine in a good vintage, btu a bad vintage is more difficult. Casanova never fails to deliver and since they installed the optical sorter tough vintages are not as tough since they are …
