110 points/'Cum Laude,' Luca Gardini: "A Brunello of tension and balance, a stylistic masterpiece. The nose is multifaceted, with evidence of blackberry, then blood orange and mint. A balsamic, full, dense, compact nose, with touches of geranium and clementine peel. The taste combines elegance and texture, with a return of laurel and a strong salty note on the finish. (Oct 2023)"
100 points James Suckling: "Cherry, flower and cedar aromas follow through to a full body with lots of pure and juicy fruit character. Creamy and savory with a crushed bean and cherry aftertaste. Defining today’s Brunello with purity and perfection of fruit. Making the most of an outstanding vintage. A selection from a seven-hectare parcel of 50-year-old vines. Drink after 2026. (11/28/23)"
98+ points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "A rich red/garnet color, the 2019 Brunello Di Montalcino Giovanni Neri is a muscular and highly expressive, moody wine with layered and compelling aromas of cigar box, fresh tobacco leaf, dried currants, worn leather, crushed stones, and salted orange peel. Mouthwatering and structured, it has a chiseled structure with ripe tannins and mouthwatering, fresh acidity, and it’s long on the palate. It demands time in the cellar before drinking over the coming 20-30 years Drink: 2026-2056. (2/28/24)"
98 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate) "Wow, this wine steals the show. A new addition to the Casanova di Neri portfolio now in its second year, the 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Giovanni Neri pays tribute to Giacomo Neri's father and represents a stylistic shift to the most elegant side of Montalcino. The wine reveals a very nuanced bouquet with toasted cherry pit, Luxardo syrup and balsam herb. There is dark slate and stony mineral that dovetail into a very clean and pretty earthiness. The tannins are slightly sweeter compared to other wines from this vintage, and there are fragrant tones of heritage rose and lilac. The ratio between tannin and fruit is excellent, and I can see this wine aging long into the future. Production is 9,600 bottles. Drink: 2026-2050. (12/14/23)"
