NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Casanova di Neri's "Giovanni Neri" Brunello di Montalcino pours a regal garnet hue, instantly signaling its gravitas.The bouquet is an evocative ensemble of sun-ripened cherries, wild berries, and dried rose petals, enriched by layers of leather, tobacco, and hints of forest floor. On the palate, it reveals its majestic structure: a tapestry of vibrant red fruits intertwined with nuances of spice, licorice, and a touch of balsamic. The tannins are robust yet gracefully integrated, framing the wine beautifully and leading to a finish that is both profound and lingering, echoing the wine's depth and its promise of longevity. A Brunello that stands as a testament to Casanova di Neri's dedication to excellence.
