Staff Notes:

"Deep, scintillating ruby with a subtle garnet sheen. Opens on the nose with notes of wild raspberry and black cherry, followed by fine, spicy elements and violet notes in the background. Substantial and dense on the palate, showing well, with compact yet many-layered tannins; a penetrating richness on the finish with a note of clove." 98 Falstaff Magazin

"Vertical on the nose, with red currant in evidence, then wild mint and chinotto, with touches of peony and blood orange. Crisp-taut drinkability, with salty tannins. Fruity and citrusy notes on the finish." 98 Luca Gardini

"There is more depth to the 2018 Brunello Di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova, with light smoky earth, black cherry, licorice, and black pepper. It is polished with fresh crunchy fruit yet retains a good amount of concentration, with notes of black raspberry, turned fresh soil, and graphite. Mouthwatering, with salinity, fresh acidity, and great length, it has fine tannins and warming spice on the finish. Drink: 2024-2044." 96+, Audrey Frick, JebDunnuck.com

"Here's a treat from Casanova di Neri. Aged in tonneaux for 30 months, the 2018 Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova is fleshed out and rich with pretty layers of dark fruit, dried blackberry, spice and cured tobacco. There is a point of sour cherry in this vintage that folds into crushed flower, balsam herb, licorice and crushed stone. The bouquet is classic, but the Casanova di Neri magic touch comes through thanks to the wine's balance and pretty intensity. Drink: 2025-2045." 95, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate
