Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova 2018 is made from 100% Sangiovese.
Founded in 1971 by Giovanni Neri and today led by his son Giacomo, Casanova di Neri is one of Montalcino's most acclaimed estates, farming a mosaic of vineyards across the appellation. Tenuta Nuova is their benchmark cru bottling — richly styled yet precise, and long regarded as one of Brunello's reference wines.
Brunello di Montalcino is made entirely from Sangiovese grown on the hills around the town of Montalcino in southern Tuscany, and aged for years before release. The Tenuta Nuova fruit comes from the warmer south-eastern side of the DOCG; the cooler, classically proportioned 2018 vintage yielded balanced, aromatic wines with fine, chewy tannins.
Review:
Elegant and perfumed nose of dried roses, violets, lemon zest, slate, cherries, aniseed and truffles. Very fine, tight and precise tannins. Medium to full body. I like the floral and saline undertones. So precise and fresh with a tight finish. Crushed stones at the end. Try in 2025, but already attractive to taste and drink.

Review:
Intense, bright ruby red, with a garnet sheen. On the nose, wild raspberries and black cherries, lovely savoury notes, violets. Substantial and dense on the palate, with really wonderful, compact tannins, multi-layered, notes of cloves, rich and chewy on the finish.

There is more depth to the 2018 Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova, with light smoky earth, black cherry, licorice, and black pepper. It is polished with fresh, crunchy fruit yet retains a good amount of concentration, with notes of black raspberry, turned fresh soil, and graphite. Mouthwatering, with salinity, fresh acidity, and great length, it has fine tannins and warming spice on the finish. Drink 2024-2044.

This 2018 Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova has a black-toned ruby color. It is very young and closed on the nose; blue-black berry fruit aromas are at the moment dominated by a slightly heavy oak note of cream, spice and leather. On the palate there are firm, chewy tannins and dark flavors. This is a robust style of Brunello, perhaps on its way to becoming more approachable at an early age, but at the moment the style is firmly robust and powerful. The fruit for the Tenuta Nuova comes from the warmer south-eastern part of the DOCG.
-The Wine Independent 96 Points
Here's a treat from Casanova di Neri. Aged in tonneaux for 30 months, the 2018 Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova is fleshed out and rich, with pretty layers of dark fruit, dried blackberry, spice, and cured tobacco. There’s a hint of sour cherry in this vintage that folds into crushed flower, balsamic herb, licorice, and crushed stone. The bouquet is classic, but the Casanova di Neri magic touch comes through thanks to the wine’s balance and lovely intensity. I can’t, however, overlook a powerful 15% alcohol content that leaves its mark. This is a production of 67,740 bottles.

This is a 6 pack with 2 bottles each from vintages from 2013, 2015, and 2016.
***Tenimenti Angelini Val di Suga Vigna Spuntali Brunello di Montalcino 2016:
The 2016 Vigna Spuntali Brunello di Montalcino is the most brooding of the lineup from Val di Suga and is sourced from the southwest of the region on sandy soils. There are aromatics of black raspberry, licorice, menthol, sage, cinnamon, and iron-rich earth. Its Mediterranean influence is felt on the palate with ripe black cherry, dried herbs, and sun-baked earth. This is the fullest bodied and most savory of the Val di Suga lineup, with more roundness and grip. Its structure will benefit from cellaring for several years and will be great drinking over the next 20 years or more. 2026-2040.
-Jeb Dunnuck 96 Points
***Tenimenti Angelini Val di Suga Vigna Spuntali Brunello di Montalcino 2015:
The 2015 Vigna Spuntali Brunello di Montalcino is more introverted on first opening, with notes of black plum, licorice, dried Mediterranean herb, and sun-baked earth. On the palate, it offers a tart dried fruit character, with a building tannin structure that finishes with tomato leaf, and bitter herbs. The most rustic and burly of the wines in the lineup of the 2015 Val di Suga vintage, it will benefit from allowing some time in cellar to see how this matures and its tarriness develops. Drink 2026-2036

***Tenimenti Angelini Val di Suga Vigna Spuntali Brunello di Montalcino 2013:
Plenty of spices and fresh herbs on the nose, such as dried rosemary and nutmeg, to match the underlying dried redcurrants and cranberries. Full-bodied with plenty of concentration, but still shows a very sturdy, tannin backbone and punchy acidity, to drive this through to a long finish. Drink in 2021.
-James Suckling 94 Points
"Funkelndes, sattes Rubin mit feinem Granatschimmer. Sehr klare und duftige Nase, satt nach Brom- und Maulbeere, dazu etwas Leder und Lakritze. Zeigt sich am Gaumen satt und stoffig, öffnet sich mit griffigem Tannin in vielen Schichten, sehr langer Nachhall im Finale, ein Langläufer."

Bright ruby in the glass. First impact is low key, with red cherry, leather, tobacco, fresh violet and balsamic notes. The attack is velvety, with a full body, lifted acidity and dense, ripe tannins. Character emerges from the glass, meaty and bloody. Thick, dry finish that’s fierce. Drink or hold

Collemattoni Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is made from 100 percent Sangiovese.
Intense ruby red with brilliant burgundy reflects in color. Reminiscent of wild black fruits, vanilla and spices on the nose and dry, warm, slightly austere but velvety in the palate.
This wine comes from the oldest vineyard of Collemattoni: Fontelontano. Less than half hectare. It's one of the few Single Vineyard Brunello di Montalcino riserva.
Coming from a parcel with 15-18 year old vines planted in sandy clay and marl soils.
Harvest is 100% destemmed with a soft pressing, fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature of 28-30°C, pumping over for the first week of maceration following by skin-contact maceration for 20-25 days with rack and return technique (delestage).
Malolactic fermentation completed. The delestage and the pumping over are then spaced out along the process.

Review:
This is intense with aromas of dried cherries, sweet licorice, cloves, crushed walnuts and hints of chocolate and undergrowth. Full-bodied, deep and structured with taut, tightly packed tannins. Long and persistent. Drink or hold.

La Spinona Barbaresco Secondine is made from 100 percent Nebbiolo.
This single-vineyard Barbaresco comes from his 3.5 hectares on the cru of Secondine. It is the commune of Barbaresco below the zone of Rabaja Basa and Paje and is where Gaja’s San Lorenzo is located. It is 230 meters above sea level with a southern exposure.

Color: Deep ruby red with a hint of garnet in the reflections.
Bouquet: Bright bouquet full of cherries, raspberries, licorice and floral notes.
Taste: Elegant and refined with delicate, soft tannins. It is fresh, velvety and extremely well balanced.
Review:
The 2018 Barbaresco Secondine is one of the best wines I have ever tasted here. The aromatics alone are enchanting. Large and dramatic in feel, the 2018 possesses tremendous depth, but retains a super-classic feeling of translucent elegance. Wild cherry, rose petal, blood orange, cinnamon, cedar and sweet pipe tobacco flesh out beautifully in the glass. What a gorgeous wine this is.
-Antonio Galloni (Vinous) 94 Points
Aromas of wild red berry, blue flower, crushed mint and oak-driven spice come to the forefront. Reflecting the nose, the full-bodied, polished palate features juicy Morello cherry, crushed raspberry, star anise and spearmint alongside lithe tannins. It's balanced, with bright acidity and closes on a note of bitter almond.
-Wine Enthusiast 93 Points
Capanna is one of Montalcino's historic family estates, farming vineyards on the cooler north side of the hill since the early 20th century. Their Brunello is a classically styled Sangiovese — perfumed, structured and age-worthy — and the 2021 is a standout in a celebrated vintage.
Review:
Aromas of ripe and racy red berry fruit with touches of white pepper, hazelnuts and graphite. Very pure and structured. There's brightness from lovely acidity and verticality from its tannins, giving it a slightly austere edge. Long, tight finish. This will be better in two to three years.

Product Description
The Caparzo Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Vigna la Casa can be considered a real oenological jewel and not only of Montalcino. The origin of the name LA CASA derives from the fact that in the past this was one of the farms where some peasants lived employed by the owners of Palazzo Montosoli, located a few hundred meters away. The first vintage produced of Brunello di Montalcino Vigna La Casa was 1977. At the time, little was known about terroir and little attention was paid to the concept of zoning, introduced in Montalcino only in recent years. Also in this case Caparzo was an avant-garde company in producing one of the first "Single Vineyard" Brunello di Montalcino in one of the most privileged vineyards of the Municipality.
With the Brunello di Montalcino La Casa, Caparzo has also achieved another milestone: that of being one of the first companies to introduce the barrique in Montalcino, managing to create a wine with a gentle and elegant soul. The Brunello di Montalcino Vigna La Casa is the fruit of a unique territory and expresses all of Caparzo's great passion and long experience in producing excellent wines. Wi

Review:
Lots of blue and sweet berry fruit with heady rose and floral notes on the nose, alongside hot chocolate, sandalwood, toffee and nutmeg. It’s full-bodied with ripe, muscular tannins that are superbly integrated. Powerful, yet with transparency and clarity that gives it beauty. Long, graceful finish.

Winery: Caparzo
Still today, innovative breeding systems are being tested and, in particular, various clonal selections in the owned lands, which extend over an area of about 200 hectares, 90 of which are planted with vineyards, 4 with olive groves, 87 with woods and 19 currently with arable land and courtyards. Caparzo carries out an activity that aims to obtain top quality products, achieved with meticulous and artisanal production techniques, but nevertheless reveals a modern mentality in management, efficient and capable in commercial relations. More than forty years have passed since the first rows of vines and the first cellar experiences. Caparzo, in this time, grown in respect of the Brunello tradition and the different terroirs of the area, has been able to enhance its wines with a creative spirit and desire for innovation, expressing the maximum qualitative rigour. Precisely for this reason, Caparzo wines have been adopted by the most famous restaurants in the world, served at international meetings and official state dinners.
aparzo vineyards occupy about 90 hectares in the municipality of Montalcino. In Caparzo, in the hilly area, at an altitude of 220 metres, facing south to south-east, about 9 hectares of Brunello are cultivated, 3 hectares of Chardonnay, Sauvignon and Traminer, 2.5 hectares of Cabernet Sauvignon, 3 hectares of Rosso di Montalcino, 1 hectare of Sangiovese Sant'Antimo and 1.5 hectares of Moscadello. The soil is of Pliocene, sedimentary, sandy-clayey formation. In the locality of La Casa, at an altitude of 275 metres, facing south to south-east, there are 5 hectares of Brunello. The soil is of shale-clayey formation, known as marl. In the western area, called La Caduta, at a height of 300 meters, 7.5 hectares of Brunello are located on a soil of sandstone matrix, loose and rich in skeleton. From south to southeast of Montalcino, the Il Cassero vineyard is located, at a height of 270 meters, where there are about 6 hectares of Brunello, 4 of Sangiovese, 1 of Syrah, 1 of Colorino and 3 hectares of Rosso di Montalcino, on a soil of Pliocene formation with a sandy-stony or schistic-clayey matrix. Finally, south-east of Montalcino, in the San Piero-Caselle vineyard, at a height of 250 meters, 2.5 hectares of Brunello are cultivated, 15 of Sangiovese, 2.5 of Merlot, 2 of Cabernet Sauvignon, 2.5 in Syrah, 1.5 in Petit Verdot and 2 hectares in Colorino. As a rule, the harvest period begins in the first days of September for white grapes, while the red grapes are harvested in the third week of September. The Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese Grosso grapes destined for the production of Ca' del Pazzo are harvested separately. Only after the malolactic fermentation does the mixing of the two wines take place. The grapes destined for the production of Le Grance are softly pressed and the fermentation of the must takes place in small 350-litre oak barrels. After fermentation, the wine remains in the same barrels for twelve months. The red grapes are destemmed: the must and pomace begin fermentation at a controlled temperature for about eight days, with pumping over and punching down on the cap.

Poggio Nardone Brunello di Montalcino is made from 100 percent Sangiovese Grosso.
The rich nose displays scents of spices combined with aromas of small red ripe fruits, blackberry and blueberry.
Well structured, determined and elegant, with round and silky tannins. Very nice finish.
Alcoholic fermentation was done in tank, maloactic fermentation in oak barrels. Wine was then aged for 3 years in French oak barrels.
Review:
Noble and decidedly balsamic in the primary profile alternating notes of peppermint, eucalyptus, green tea leaves and guaranà. A lot of very delicate dried cherries are housed in the background giving brilliance and crunchiness. Medium bodied, well extracted mature tannins and a finale which squeezes from the centre palate onwards. Better from 2025.

Chappellet Pritchard Hill Estate Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is made from 94% Cabernet Sauvignon & 6% Petit Verdot.
Chappellet's Pritchard Hill Cabernet Sauvignon has been, since the beginning of their winemaking career, the most sought after wine of their portfolio. The wine is truly a love letter to the winegrowing potential of Pritchard Hill. The wine was inspired by Bordeaux, and like most left bank Bordeaux, the wine is a blend of predominately Cabernet Sauvignon with remaining amounts other classic Bordeaux blend varieties. The vines grow upon rocky, mountainside vineyards. After harvest and fermentation, the wine was aged for 22 months in 100% new French oak barrels.
Review:
A terrific effort from a challenging vintage, Chappellet's 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Pritchard Hill—94% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Petit Verdot—boasts expressive scents of cassis, blackberries, vanilla and caramel. It's full-bodied, supple, generous, deep and round, expansive on the palate and framed by soft, fully ripe tannins and hints of mocha on the lingering, velvety finish. Showy, impressive and delicious, it should drink well for a couple of decades.

Davila M100 White Blend Rias Baixas 2022 is made from Albariño, Caíño Blanco and Loureiro.
Adegas Valmiñor farms the O Rosal valley at the Atlantic edge of Rías Baixas, and the Davila range is where the winery showcases the native grapes of that corner of Galicia. The M100 is an O Rosal blend built around Albariño, rounded out with Caíño Blanco and Loureiro from the estate's older parcels.
The Albariño is cold-macerated and barrel-fermented in large French oak, aged three months on its lees with bâtonnage, then blended with the Caíño Blanco and Loureiro and given further time in tank. It is a richer, more structured Rías Baixas white — ripe orchard fruit and subtle spice over a firm mineral spine, deep and expressive on the palate.
Pairs beautifully with richer seafood, white meats, and creamy dishes.
