The 2014 Brunello di Montalcino from Casanova di Neri is absolutely fabulous. In 2014 Giacomo and Giovanni Neri decided to include all the fruit from Cerretalto and Tenuta Nuova in their normal Brunello, and it has definitely paid off, as this is one of the most successful wine from the vintage. This instantly begins to impress as it opens to pretty aromatics of dried red and dark berries, exotic spices, dried violets and smokey nuances all taking shape. On the palate this is absolutely gorgeous, silky and refined, displaying beautiful overall balance and finesse, which is backed by lovely underlying acidity that frames the satiny finish. The 2014 is already showing remarkably well, and readers will not need to wait long to fully enjoy this outstanding Brunello. While it is certainly somewhat disappointing not to see one of my personal favorite wines, Tenuta Nuova, in 2014, I absolutely love the decision and sacrifice that was made in order to achieve the best possible results given the difficult conditions of the vintage. — 6 years ago

awesome to drink same time as ‘13 Tenuta Nuova ~ a little bigger ~ a little fuller ~ fruits a bit more sweet/ripe than sour/tart — 7 years ago

Now in Roma. Tomorrow, I turn 50. Aug. 26th. It's 1115pm here, so I guess Roma time, I will begin my 2nd half-century with the Casanova di Neri Rosso, which I've never seen in the US (the Brunello yes).

This was like 14 euro at the winery, and I should have shipped home a few cases. It's approachable, all around versatile, great Tuscan wine.

Tomorrow I will drink their 2012 Tenuta Nuova.

Excellent. Opened at 1 pm for dinner that night. More complex, and layered than the 2010 Cogno Cascina Nuova. Loved the extra gear. Went great with Vitello Tonnato and Summer Truffle pasta. — 5 years ago

A historic wine...1971 Pira Barolo, a blend of fruit from Cannubi, San Lorenzo, Prea, Vignane and Via Nuova, crushed by foot. A treat to taste this from a perfectly stored bottle at the winery. Wow... 😱😱😱 — 7 years ago

Dry. Hard to pick out flavor profile due to high tannins taking over. Definitely need to try with food. — 8 years ago

Good effort but I’d definitely go with the ‘16 Cogno Cascina Nuova Barolo over this for similar price. — 5 years ago

In a field of gorgeous Italian whites, this was a star. Lime zest, sea spray, white peach, yellow plum, apricot, honeysuckle, rosemary, sweet basil, on a medium plus body with medium plus acid and a long satisfying, lip-smacking finish — 7 years ago

New bottle I've never heard of made by Aaron Pott,
Clone 4 & 337 adjacent to Meteor Vineyard
Accessible early, but still gave it a 2 hour decant to start, nice $60.00 bottle
Actually Barrel + ink winery not bare bottom,
Actually Bare Bottom is more appropriate since today is Naked gardening day🤷‍♂️, true story, saw it on the news (l) — 8 years ago
