2018 Brunello di Montalcino White Label Casanova di Neri - Half Botles
Couldn't load pickup availability
Dark red and brilliant in color, the 2021 Brunello displays notes of small berries, bay leaf, sage, and juniper berries. It is surprisingly juicy yet elegant and engaging at the same time. Structured and impressively long, it displays splendid tannins that enliven the palate and a linear finish that enhances its intensity and spiciness.
Tasting notes:
Monica Larner 93/100 With a special commemorative label that celebrates its 40th birthday 1978–2018), the Casanova di Neri 2018 Brunello di Montalcino is lush and carefully concentrated to offer intensity and textural richness. The bright fruit remains intact in this wine, with plenty of cherry and blackberry, in an encouraging nod to the future cellar potential of this bottle. Many Brunellos from this vintage reveal faded or dried fruit, but thankfully not this wine. The acidity is mild, falling softly to the background, and the tannins are expertly managed. Only the finish is a bit leaner and quicker than anticipated. The wine ages in large oak casks for 42 months, and this year's production is an ample 105,000 bottles. Happy anniversary. Drink 2025 - 2038
