Funky, slightly earthy, natural nose, with hints of grass clippings, overripe yellow citrus, mushroom and maybe even a hint of butterscotch. Color of a lightly deep, golden hue, like yellow gold, medium bodied but surprisingly the palate is like a dry Normandie cider! Crisp, fresh, and dry, with some tingly funk, and then something like acidity or minerality emerging to the edges, with a nutty apple cinnamon like finish. — 5 months ago

In a field of gorgeous Italian whites, this was a star. Lime zest, sea spray, white peach, yellow plum, apricot, honeysuckle, rosemary, sweet basil, on a medium plus body with medium plus acid and a long satisfying, lip-smacking finish — 8 years ago

This is the 2013 Ar.Pe.Pe Valtellina Superiore Sassella Riserva ‘Nuova Regina’. It’s 100% Chiavennasca and aged 39 months in cask.

It is PALE ruby in color with pronounced aromas and flavors of red and black cherry, bright raspberry, mulberry, pomegranate, purple fig, stewed strawberry rhubarb, rose, potpourri, black licorice, black tea, anise seed, fennel, tri-colored peppercorns, peat, vanilla, cardamom, nutmeg, forest floor, and mushroom.

On the palate, this wine is dry, w/ medium (+) acidity, a medium body, medium alcohol (13% ABV), & medium (+) tannins that are smooth and velveteen; it has a lingering finish.

It’s an outstanding wine, incredibly fresh now with runway to age & gain complexity in the bottle. — a year ago

Excellent. Opened at 1 pm for dinner that night. More complex, and layered than the 2010 Cogno Cascina Nuova. Loved the extra gear. Went great with Vitello Tonnato and Summer Truffle pasta. — 6 years ago

A historic wine...1971 Pira Barolo, a blend of fruit from Cannubi, San Lorenzo, Prea, Vignane and Via Nuova, crushed by foot. A treat to taste this from a perfectly stored bottle at the winery. Wow... 😱😱😱 — 8 years ago

Intense and deep. Leather and roasting, spices and heavy clay and chewy tans and everything in between. Drank it over three days with a variety of steak and roasted mushrooms and Italian food and it went well with everything just very broad and deep and brewing.  — 2 months ago

Good effort but I’d definitely go with the ‘16 Cogno Cascina Nuova Barolo over this for similar price. — 6 years ago

The 2014 Brunello di Montalcino from Casanova di Neri is absolutely fabulous. In 2014 Giacomo and Giovanni Neri decided to include all the fruit from Cerretalto and Tenuta Nuova in their normal Brunello, and it has definitely paid off, as this is one of the most successful wine from the vintage. This instantly begins to impress as it opens to pretty aromatics of dried red and dark berries, exotic spices, dried violets and smokey nuances all taking shape. On the palate this is absolutely gorgeous, silky and refined, displaying beautiful overall balance and finesse, which is backed by lovely underlying acidity that frames the satiny finish. The 2014 is already showing remarkably well, and readers will not need to wait long to fully enjoy this outstanding Brunello. While it is certainly somewhat disappointing not to see one of my personal favorite wines, Tenuta Nuova, in 2014, I absolutely love the decision and sacrifice that was made in order to achieve the best possible results given the difficult conditions of the vintage. — 7 years ago
