Brunello Giovanni Neri embodies all the outstanding qualities of the grapes and the winemaker's craft. Man and nature come together here with perfect precision and harmony. Its balance is exquisite. Rich notes of cherry and blackberry give way to crushed minerals, liquorice, smoke and subtle hints of cedarwood. The wine unfolds evenly and powerfully on the palate, and its flavour intensity lingers for many minutes. Giovanni Neri Brunello is wonderfully concentrated and rich, yet never too heavy or even too dense. SUPERIORE.DE

"A brilliant ruby red with a subtly lighter rim. A strongly spicy nose of precious woods, black pepper, cold smoke and tar; after a little time, notes of mint, plum and dark chocolate emerge. On the palate, it has tightly knit tannins, densely interwoven and firm, accompanied by rich body, earthy notes and a subtle saltiness on the finish; it can certainly be laid down for further ageing." Falstaff

"It sees about 15% whole-bunch fruit, which helps to curb alcohol levels. Intense dark cherry is suffused with carob, mace and toasty wood. Weighty and chock full of dense creamy black fruit elaborately swaddled by velvety tannins, it cinches in at the right moment, while luscious acidity illuminates the whole." Decanter

"A lively, elegant red wine with aromas and flavours of strawberries, cherries, eucalyptus and iron. The palate is harmonious; the supple tannins provide structure on the finish, yet all the elements are perfectly balanced. The aftertaste is long-lasting." Wine Spectator

"The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Giovanni Neri brings the taster back down to earth once the hints of sous-bois, ashy stones and animal musk have faded, revealing layers of dried black cherries, lavender and grated sage. It feels silky, with hints of ripe red and blue fruits. A fluid floral concentration lends it a youthful vigour. It is structured, long and quite powerful, with sweet, rounded tannins that blend with blackcurrants tinged with citrus and exotic spice notes. The Giovanni Neri comes from vines that are almost 50 years old, near Castelnuovo dell'Abate. It is a real eye-catcher." Vinous

"The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Giovanni Neri is a lively and powerful wine with a wide vertical range of aromas. Giovanni and Gianlorenzo Neri noticed brown stems and fragrant aromas, and these characteristics inspired them to use the stems. Aromas of cherries and red fruits are followed by pepper, wild spices, sweet earth and dusty pencil shavings. There are hints of saddle leather on the one hand and crushed rosemary on the other. Right at the very end, there is a hint of something that tastes like a crispy strip of breakfast bacon. I love the intensity and energy of this wine." Wine Advocate

"A robust red with notes of mushrooms, bark, blackberries and black truffle. Full-bodied and complex, with open tannins and a long, lingering finish. Creamy and polished." James Suckling

"On the nose, it offers notes of black cherry and pink pepper, followed by hints of bay leaf and dried thyme. On the palate, it is juicy and firm, with salty, peppery tannins and spicy notes. It finishes with herbal notes and red fruit." Luca Gardini
