    Product Description

    “It is that time of the year when Wine Spectator teases us with a week long reveal of their top 100 wine picks of 2017. Today, they released the #4 pick of the year, the 2012 Casanova di Neri Brunello. The wine scored 95 points, and the 2012 vintage was a wonderful five star vintage. Like clockwork, stellar producer Casanova di Neri rose to the top to produce one of the finest wines of the vintage. We have a very limited quantity, so don’t let #4 pass you by.”  – Lance Montalto, The Wine House (11/17/17)

    Wine Spectator: 95 points

    Effusive aromas and flavors of raspberry, cherry, floral, mineral and tobacco are at the center of this linear, vibrant red. Well structured, this offers terrific length on the sinewy finish. Best from 2020 through 2035.

    Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 93 points

    Casanova di Neri is one of the shining stars of Montalcino. Each successive vintage released brings us renewed understanding of the focus and the dedication demonstrated by the father and son team that operates this estate. The winemaking style is impeccable and elaborate. There's a higher degree of texture and richness on display, and this is not often the case with Sangiovese. The 2012 Brunello di Montalcino opens to thick layers of dark fruit, mocha, spice, leather, cigar box and pipe tobacco. A distant note of dried fruit or blackberry confit adds softness and sweetness. Give this wine a few more years to flesh out and integrate.
