Den store vin fra Casanova di Neri.
Vinen, som nærmest uanset årgang er vinen, som ligger højt på alle lister.
Vinen har ligget 37 måneder på på brugte barrique og tonneaux.
Fra Tenuta Nuova vinmarken i S. Angelo in Colle. Vin med stor struktur og elegance.
Naturlig gæring uden tilsætning af gær og ingen filtrering.
Vinen er fra et stort år. 2015 er af mange bedømt til et år på niveau med 2010, dvs. lidt til den lune side. Vinen kan uden problemer drikkes nu, men vil naturligvis vinde med nogle år i kælderen.
Vinen er høstet ad flere årgange i den 2. og 3. uge i september 2015.
Blandt de mange høje ratings kan blandt andet nævnes:
98+/100 Robert Parker:
"Giacomo Neri and his family have crafted a wine that impresses from the first sip forward (especially when the wine is given ample time to open). The Casanova di Neri 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova must be treated with patience, and that patience is returned with many great rewards. Blackberry, plum and summer cherry are slowly folded into lasting flavors of spice, leather and beautiful balsam or medical herb. These are always a distinctive signature of this estate. The aromas flow with seamless transitions, and that fluid and ever-changing nature of the bouquet is what helps to build intensity and staying power. Fruit is harvested from a south- and southeast-facing slope at 250 to 300 meters above sea level. The soils are mixed loosely with crushed rock, allowing access to air and moisture. Indeed, pretty mineral accents appear as the wine takes on more air in the glass. What stands out most in this Brunello is the quality of the bouquet that is rigid and firm, yet not excessively so. You feel the structural texture of the wine as it sits firmly over the palate, yet there is mobility and softness to its many moving parts"
James Suckling: 99/100 point.
"The purity of fruit in this wine really strikes you with black cherries, combined with sage, lavender and rosemary. Extremely aromatic. Full-bodied, yet so tight and polished with incredible tannin structure that gives the wine an endless mouth feel of caressing tannins, acidity and fruit. There’s a fabulous saltiness and oyster-shell undertone to the fruit. Unique. Drinkable already, but this year there’s the structure to last decades."
