Giovanni Neri 2019 Brunello di Montalcino - Casanova di Neri

99 Punkte Falstaff
Intensives leuchtendes Rubin mit feinem Granatschimmer. Präsentiert sich mit einprägsamer Nase, viel knackige Frucht, Blutorange und Kirsche, etwas Zitronenmelisse. Am Gaumen feinmaschiges Tannin, das sich in vielen Schichten ausbreitet, baut sich lange auf, dazu sehr gut herausgearbeitete Frucht, sehr langer Nachhall mit sattem Druck.

Wow, this wine steals the show. A new addition to the Casanova di Neri portfolio now in its second year, the 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Giovanni Neri pays tribute to Giacomo Neri's father and represents a stylistic shift to the most elegant side of Montalcino. The wine reveals a very nuanced bouquet with toasted cherry pit, Luxardo syrup and balsam herb. There is dark slate and stony mineral that dovetail into a very clean and pretty earthiness. The tannins are slightly sweeter compared to other wines from this vintage, and there are fragrant tones of heritage rose and lilac. The ratio between tannin and fruit is excellent, and I can see this wine aging long into the future. Production is 9,600 bottles.

Cherry, flower and cedar aromas follow through to a full body with lots of pure and juicy fruit character. Creamy and savory with a crushed bean and cherry aftertaste. Defining today’s Brunello with purity and perfection of fruit. Making the most of an outstanding vintage. A selection from a seven-hectare parcel of 50-year-old vines. Drink after 2026.
