Casanova Neri Brunello 2017

"The“White Label” Brunello is a wonderful example of this balance, once again proving itself as the 'classic ' label of the Estate . It delivers grace, finesse and a floral profile uncommon in this warm but more so dry vintage. The wine is bold and dark in appearance, and although the bouquet is dominated by purple and black fruits, there is a brief interlude of fresh garden rose or lilac. That little moment changes up the momentum of this wine in a most positive way by allowing for a harmony of low tones and high tones that are well matched here. The wine is robust, structured and velvety to the palate, but ultimately this expression is far more delicate than I would have ever expected for a 2017 Brunello. This is a nice surprise."
