100pt Casanova di Neri & 98pt Il Poggione Brunello

Tenuta Nuova 2010 label.jpg
"The 2010 vintage is iconic for Montalcino and the reason is, simply put, it shows the amazing versatility of the Sangiovese grape with a level of clarity that I have never encountered...In my view, 2010 is the top Brunello di Montalcino vintage of the new millennium"
Monica Larner, erobertparker.com
It has been well documented that the 2010 vintage in Tuscany was exceptional and the Brunellos from this vintage are widely regarded as possibly the best ever produced - certainly one of the three greatest Brunello vintages in history.

"the greatest modern vintage of Italy's most famous red wine region. Never have the wines been so profound in quality, character and quantity from the best hillside vineyards of Montalcino. They represent a new paradigm for Tuscany's unique sangiovese-based red"
James Suckling on the 2010 Brunello vintage

2010 Brunello di Montalcino Casanova di Neri - Bottles 10 - 360 per Case Add to shopping cart
"The outstanding 2010 Brunello di Montalcino gives you everything you want to see in a great wine, a great Tuscan wine. This monumental expression of Sangiovese delivers top-notch intensity with seamless integration of aromas. They span from dark fruit and Morello cherry to chocolate, spice, licorice, balsam herb and rosemary sprig. The energy and vitality of the vintage is locked perfectly within. This Brunello exhibits especially soft, silky tannins with long persistence and momentum. There is nothing out of place and the price tag is certainly not exaggerated for this level of excellence"

2010 BDM Tenuta Nuova Casanova di Neri - Bottles 3 6 1100 per Case Add to shopping cart
"The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova is a protagonist of the vintage. The fruit is deep and dark with rich levels of extract, intensity and flavor. It goes far beyond your standard cherry and blackberry to include plum cake, spice bread and bacon-wrapped prune. Nothing is obvious or monochromatic about this wine. Everything is nuanced and ethereal. Tenuta Nuova is also distinguished by the linear mineral notes that are characteristic of this single-vineyard site. In 2010, those traits are especially well-defined and pronounced. The tannins reach a level of suppleness that is almost impossible to find in the sometimes prickly and acidic Sangiovese grape. If there is one thing Giacomo Neri has mastered, it is harvesting at optimal ripeness: He knows his property and his vines better than most and it shows. Collectors will want to put this wine aside ten years or longer"

2010 Brunello di Montalcino Il Poggione - Bottles 6 - 350 per Case Add to shopping cart
"The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino is a striking wine that shows uncompromising varietal pureness, albeit in a most concentrated and elaborate form. This is what great Sangiovese is all about. There's so much happening on the nose and the wine brings you to cherry, spice, licorice, cured meat, pressed rose and grilled meat in equal measure. No one element overpowers the next. The mouthfeel is also tight and bright with the kind of fruit intensity that promises long cellar aging. This Brunello is only at the beginning of a long road ahead. The longer the wine stays in the glass, the more it offers in terms of complexity and intensity. This is a true standout that can be enjoyed for up to 20 years ahead. Drink: 2017 - 2035 Fabrizio Bindocci and his son Alessandro are the most accomplished father-son winemaking team I can think of today in Italy. Il Poggione is owned by Leopoldo and Livia Franceschi, but the phenomenal Bindocci duo are very much in the limelight. They excel in every aspect of winemaking, from vineyard management to wine marketing. Never have I encountered a Il Poggione Brunello as beautiful as the one released this year. This is one of the highest expression of Sangiovese you will ever taste2017-2035"
