Created from the estate’s pioneering Tenuta Nuova vineyard project, it reflects a meticulous study of Montalcino’s microclimates, exposures, vine material and cultivation methods. The result is a powerful yet refined wine with excellent cellaring potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine displays a rich ruby-red colour with youthful intensity. Its expressive bouquet opens with vibrant red fruit and blackberry, complemented by classic balsamic nuances that add freshness and complexity. Subtle spicy and earthy tones emerge as the wine develops in the glass.\n\nOn the palate, Tenuta Nuova is full-bodied, generous and beautifully structured. Silky tannins provide shape without overpowering the fruit, while a lively balance and persistent finish bring together elegance and strength. It is enjoyable in its youth after some aeration, but has the concentration and structure to develop gracefully for many years—approximately 15–20 years from vintage under suitable cellaring conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Tenuta Nuova project was established on previously unplanted land after extensive research into local microclimates and optimal vineyard exposures. Casanova di Neri carefully selected the Sangiovese clones, rootstocks, planting density and cultivation practices best suited to the site. The grapes are hand-harvested in small selections, destemmed and further sorted before spontaneous fermentation without added yeast. Maceration takes place in temperature-controlled conical stainless-steel tanks for around 25 days, with regular punch-downs. The wine then matures for approximately 30 months in wood, followed by a further 18 months in bottle before release.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA natural partner for Tuscan and Italian cuisine, this Brunello works particularly well with bistecca alla Fiorentina, roasted or braised beef, wild boar ragù, lamb and mature hard cheeses. Serve at around 18°C in a large Burgundy or Bordeaux-style glass. The 2019 vintage can be enjoyed after decanting for 1–2 hours, while older bottles should be handled more gently and decanted shortly before serving to separate any sediment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFounded in Montalcino in 1971, Casanova di Neri has become one of the area’s most respected producers, known for combining a deep understanding of Sangiovese with a progressive approach to vineyard development and winemaking. The estate’s Tenuta Nuova project is particularly significant: it was conceived as a pioneering site where Sangiovese had not previously been planted, demonstrating the producer’s confidence in detailed research and careful site selection. Casanova di Neri’s Brunellos have earned international recognition for their precision, balance and ageing ability, helping establish the estate as a benchmark of modern Montalcino.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Casanova di Neri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54462571741521,"sku":"VDZ-10570092347728-53331285180752","price":156.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/neri08013_5.jpg?v=1785497858","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/casanova-di-neri-brunello-di-montalcino-tenuta-nuova-2019","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
