2020 Casanova di Neri White Label Brunello di Montalcino 750 ml

There might be no Tuscan name more synonymous with Brunello excellence than Casanova di Neri. And none of their bottles is better known to Brunello lovers than the iconic White Label. 

Grown in the vintage that Robb Report declared to be “One of the Best of the Century,” Casanova di Neri’s 2020 White Label Brunello is a stunner. It earned a lofty 96-point score from The Wine Independent’s Master of Wine Vanessa Conlin. It’s a classic from an exceptional year that will drink well now or a decade in the future. 

Founded in 1971 by Giovanni Neri, the family-owned Casanova di Neri estate has consistently pushed the boundaries of quality and innovation, earning a reputation as one of Italy's most prestigious wineries. With a deep respect for tradition and an eye for modern techniques, the estate has become synonymous with exceptional Brunello di Montalcino.

Vinous praised Casanova di Neri's “intricate understanding of terroir and how to blend it to perfection,” and the winery’s vineyards span diverse microclimates and soil compositions across Montalcino. Their dedication to land stewardship is evident in their meticulous vineyard management practices, which prioritize sustainability and minimal intervention.

The White Label comes from vineyards across the estate, including Cerretalto—the natural amphitheater that produces the winery’s extremely collectible Cerretalto bottling—whose low-yielding vines yield wines of tremendous character and structure. Aged 43 months in oak barrels and another six in bottle, this 2020 is showing phenomenally right now. Enjoy!
