About this Item
Casanova di Neri is a wine producer located in Montalcino, Tuscany. It is famous for its Brunello di Montalcino wines. The estate was founded in 1971 by Giovanni Neri and is still family-owned. The Casanova di Neri winery is mostly underground; this allows the processes to be kept naturally cool without the use of air conditioning or temperature control. It has been built on three different levels to take advantage of gravity during the winemaking process.

Critics Ratings
‘This is a gorgeous wine. The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova is just as impressive now as when I first tasted it three years ago. The only edit I would make to my original 100-point review is an extension to the drinking window. The bouquet is absolutely seamless, yet it shows pencil-point precision with dark fruit that flows into spice, tobacco and crushed mineral. The wine's aromatic intensity is forthright and compelling, as is the polished and fine nature of the mouthfeel. This is a cellar keeper. Drink 2018 - 2045.’ – Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, 100/100 (Feb 2018)
‘Beautiful aromas of cherry, plum, tar and black pepper mesh with an elegant profile in this fresh, focused red. Shows plenty of cherry fruit on the palate, with spice and tobacco accents. The structure lends support and creates harmony. Best from 2017 through 2030.’ – Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator, 95/100 (Jun 2015)
