Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino 2020

Tasting Notes

Open and voluminous on the nose, with wide ranging aromatics, Casanova's latest is a beauty, intensely spicy and resinous with ample red fruit alongside, complex and complete. The palate is a sheer joy of fine tannins and zesty acids in synchronicity, and length is excellent. A model of 2020 Brunello, and a terrific new direction from Casanova into more refined and elegant territory. It will drink well quite early on, from about 2026, or hold comfortably into the mid-late-'30s. Tasted November 2024. (John Szabo, MS,winealign.com)
