Casanova di Neri, Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova 2017

Casanova di Neri’s Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova 2017 is a bold yet refined expression of Sangiovese, combining impressive depth with the elegance and drinkability that define the estate. Created through an ambitious project on newly planted vineyards, Tenuta Nuova has become one of the winery’s most distinctive and forward-thinking Brunellos, offering both immediate appeal and excellent cellaring potential.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a deep ruby-red colour with developing garnet tones. Its expressive nose opens with vibrant red fruit and ripe blackberry, complemented by classic balsamic aromas and subtle savoury nuances. On the palate, it is rich, persistent and beautifully structured, with concentrated fruit, well-integrated acidity and silky tannins. The finish is long and harmonious, bringing together power and finesse. Already approachable with decanting, the 2017 Tenuta Nuova should continue to develop complexity over the next 10–15 years, if stored in suitable conditions.

Production
Produced exclusively from Sangiovese grown in the Tenuta Nuova vineyards in Montalcino, the wine comes from a site selected after detailed studies of local microclimates, exposures, clones, rootstocks and planting densities. The grapes are hand-harvested, destemmed and carefully sorted before spontaneous fermentation without added yeast. Maceration takes place in temperature-controlled, conical steel tanks for approximately 25 days, with regular punch-downs to encourage gentle extraction. The wine then matures for 30 months in wood, followed by a further 18 months in bottle before release.

Food & Serving
Its combination of structure, acidity and silky tannins makes this Brunello an excellent partner for Tuscan dishes, roasted or grilled red meats, wild boar ragù, braised beef and aged hard cheeses. Serve at approximately 18°C, allowing the bottle to reach temperature gradually. Decant for 1–2 hours before serving, particularly when enjoying a younger bottle, to open the aromas and soften the wine’s youthful structure.

Producer
Founded in Montalcino in 1971 by Giovanni Neri, Casanova di Neri has grown into one of the region’s most respected estates, known for combining a deep understanding of Brunello tradition with ambitious vineyard research and precise winemaking. Tenuta Nuova reflects this pioneering spirit: it was established on land where Sangiovese had not previously been planted, following extensive studies to identify the ideal conditions for producing exceptional grapes. The estate’s Brunellos have earned international recognition for their balance of concentration, elegance and ageing ability.
