Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino 2018

Sangiovese from Montalcino, Tuscany, Italy

Bordeaux Bard – 92 Points

I had a fantastic time with some great friends, whom I met through Old Port Wine Merchants! We gathered recently for a Pork Ragu dish, and this wine was the centerpiece of the table. It was ready to drink right out of the bottle and showed beautifully from the start. By the end of the night, it had evolved significantly, becoming a true delight. Overall, it was quite elegant—powerful yet reserved. A barnyard earthiness lingers on the nose. The wine is medium-plus bodied, with firm tannins that are already beginning to soften. It paired wonderfully with the food and was even better amidst our conversation! (Carson McEvoy).
