Casanova di Neri, Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova 2018

Casanova di Neri’s Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova 2018 is a powerful yet remarkably graceful expression of Sangiovese, combining depth, elegance and impressive drinkability. Created from a pioneering vineyard project in Montalcino, it reflects the estate’s vision of producing Brunello with both immediate appeal and substantial aging potential. The name Tenuta Nuova means “new estate”, highlighting the original character of a site where Sangiovese had never previously been planted.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a rich ruby-red colour, with the depth and concentration expected from a distinguished Brunello. Its expressive bouquet opens with vibrant young red fruit, blackberry and the characteristic balsamic notes associated with the finest Sangiovese from Montalcino, accompanied by subtle layers that develop with air. On the palate, the structure is broad, persistent and generous, balanced by silky tannins and a refined sense of freshness. The finish is long and memorable, bringing together elegance and power in a harmonious style. While approachable with decanting, the 2018 vintage has the concentration, structure and balance to develop beautifully over the next 15–20 years when properly stored.

Production
Tenuta Nuova was conceived through an extensive study of Montalcino’s local microclimates and vineyard exposures, with careful attention given to clones, rootstocks, planting density and cultivation methods. The Sangiovese grapes are harvested and selected by hand before being destemmed and sorted. Fermentation occurs spontaneously, without added yeast, in temperature-controlled conical stainless-steel tanks, where maceration lasts approximately 25 days and is supported by regular pump-overs. The wine then matures for 30 months in wood, followed by a further 18 months in bottle before release.

Food & Serving
This Brunello is an excellent match for rich and savoury dishes such as Tuscan beef stew, wild boar ragù, roasted lamb, grilled or braised beef, and mature hard cheeses. Serve at approximately 18°C, allowing the wine to warm gently in the glass. Decant for 1–2 hours before serving, particularly when enjoying the wine in its youth; older bottles should be handled more carefully and decanted only shortly before serving to remove any sediment.

Producer
Founded by Giovanni Neri in 1971, Casanova di Neri has become one of Montalcino’s most respected estates, recognised for combining a deep respect for Sangiovese with a progressive and research-driven approach to winemaking. The Tenuta Nuova project is one of the estate’s landmark achievements: a carefully planned vineyard developed from the ground up to explore the potential of a previously unplanted site. Its success has helped establish Casanova di Neri as a leading producer of expressive, age-worthy Brunello di Montalcino.
