Casanova di Neri, Brunello Tenuta Nuova 2008

Ubetinget en af Italiens top- og kultvine. I næsen giver den en forførende bouquet af kirsebær, sorte bær og et let stænk af krydderi.

Smagen er kraftig, som den skal være i en ægte top-Brunello, meget aromatisk og fuld af den mørke frugt. De kraftige tanniner er næsten søde, og vinen har en lang, udsøgt og kompleks eftersmag.

Wine Spectator skrev: "The sawdust and graphite aromas turn to cherry and raspberry flavors in this vibrant, complex red. A beam of sweet fruit imparts energy and resonance, carrying this to a long, expansive aftertaste. The finish shows potential." 

James Suckling siger: "This is very floral with blackberries on the nose. It's full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a ripe fruit, caramel and berry aftertaste. Delicious for the vintage. One of the wines of the vintage."

95/100 Doctor Wine by Daniele Cernilli (aug. 2018)
"The saffron from cool years is evident together with the standard fruit component of cherry and blackberry together with clear notes of spice and Mediterranean herbs. The mouthfeel is austere but balanced and consistent with refined tannins and a wrapping finish."
