2021 Casanova di Neri "White Label" Brunello di Montalcino
95
Jeb Dunnuck
Review Date: 02/2016The 2021 Brunello Di Montalcino comes from a warm but not extreme growing season, helped by timely rain and a normal harvest window. It pours a deep ruby red hue and opens with black raspberries, violets, fresh earth, licorice, and rosemary. Medium to full-bodied, it feels more vertical and energetic than the 2020, with a bright spine of acidity, well-defined tannins, and a long, focused finish that stays light on its feet. Drink 2026-2040. (JD)

Notes
The 2021 "White Label" is a brilliant and linear expression of Sangiovese, reflecting the balanced yet energetic character of the 2021 vintage. The nose is vibrant and dark, offering scents of small berries, bay leaf, and sage layered with complex notes of juniper and balsamic herbs. On the palate, it is surprisingly juicy and elegant, balancing a rich core of red fruit with splendid, enlivening tannins and a striking verticality. The finish is impressively long and spicy, showing a clean mineral intensity that marks it as one of the most precise "standard" bottlings in recent years. A high-finesse Brunello that combines immediate approachability with significant aging potential.
