Winery - Casanova di Neri
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This full, plump and generous Cabernet Sauvignon offers loads of ripe fruit, smoothness and intensity. If you love rich, sun-filled red wines from Tuscany, this is a perfect choice. In the mouth, you get firm tannins and bright cherry flavors on the close. Excellent.

A beautiful showing thanks to rich red fruit, pomegranate, blackberry, plum, menthol and heavy toasted notes such as clove, vanilla, almond and coconut. Rich, supple and inky, this is a big, bold wine that should be opened 5–10 years from now. Imported by William Grant & Sons, Inc.

Rich almost to the point of chunky; aromas of coffee and new oak announce its New World style, and then come blackberry, chocolate and smoked-meat flavors. This wine is probably shocking to the old guard, but if tastes this good, drink it.

Here’s a creamy, opulent, caressing, Cabernet Sauvignon (with 10% Sangiovese) with thick, sweet juicy succulence and almost exaggerated aromas of ripe blackberry and plum. It’s round and soft in the mouth. Drink after 2010.

Plummy, overt, and friendly enough, but not too complex. A good wine for pastas or chicken cacciatore—it’s not a difficult wine to enjoy at all. Offers versatility and a certain fruit-forwardness over nuance.

The aromas are harmonious and penetrating; the mouthfeel smooth and velvety and the overall effect is one of complexity and intensity. Cerretalto is a cru selection riserva and represents one of the most modern, fruit-forward and boldest expressions from the Montalcino territory.

Bravo Giacomo Neri! This wine raises the bar on modern Brunello and offers a peek view into the future and potential of this incredibly expressive wine. Super concentrated and intense, whiffs of roasted espresso bean, tannery, summer-ripe black cherries, and porcini mushrooms peel back layer after layer. A firmly tannic touch is there to remind you to drink this wine anytime after ten years. Imported by William Grant & Sons, Inc.

A “Wow!” wine on every level. This is a lovely, dark, smooth and rich expression that is packed tight with intensity and personality. The biggest, boldest wine by far from Montalcino’s 2006 vintage, this bottle will age nicely and add value to your cellar collection.

Almost opaque in color, with more smoke and leather than opulent fruit. The palate shows excellent depth and intensity, even if the blackberry and plum fruit flavors are currently blanketed by oak. Big tannins and a sturdy feel indicate that some aging is necessary. Finishes with masculine coffee, chocolate and earth notes. Imported by William Grant & Sons.

Lighter in style and consistency than this producer’s past Brunellos, this wine represents a return to Montalcino tradition. Aromas include red cherry, wet earth, white mushroom and tobacco. In the mouth, the wine is tight, firm and long lasting.
