2022 Casanova di Neri Rosso di Montalcino

94 Points, Eric Guido, Vinous Media
The 2022 Rosso di Montalcino is dreamy. Perfumed and fruit-focused, it impresses with a violet, rose, spiced citrus and sage bouquet. It's juicy to the core. Tactile mineral tones underscore a pure blend of cherries and strawberries. The 2022 finishes with tremendous length and concentration, more Brunello-like than Rosso, with fine-grained tannins that grumble beneath an air of sweet lavender

A deep magenta color, the 2022 Rosso Di Montalcino Giovanni Neri is sourced from 50-year-old Brunello vines and is a step up from many of the Rossos of this vintage. It is aged for 12 months in used tonneaux and a few months in bottle before release. It opens to deep, layered aromas of blackberries, toasted anise, turned soil, and lavender. Full-bodied, with wonderful structure, it offers sweet, ripe tannins, and though it’s warming, it has good freshness and a floral perfume that lasts through its long finish. It is a rare case where Rosso is taken this seriously and this wine has some real aging potential, as it will continue to improve over the coming 2-3 years. Less than 5000 bottles were produced in this low yielding vintage.
