Casanova di Neri, Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova 2020

Casanova di Neri’s Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova 2020 is a powerful yet remarkably polished expression of Sangiovese, combining the depth expected of Brunello with an inviting sense of drinkability. Created through an ambitious vineyard project on land where Sangiovese had not previously been planted, Tenuta Nuova reflects the estate’s pioneering approach to site selection, clonal research and precision viticulture.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays an intense, vivid red colour. Its expressive bouquet opens with youthful red fruit and ripe blackberry, complemented by the balsamic character typical of Montalcino and subtle suggestions of spice and woodland herbs. On the palate, it is rich and persistent, with impressive concentration balanced by silky tannins and fresh acidity. The finish is long, elegant and layered, bringing together ripe fruit, balsamic tones and a refined savoury character. Already approachable with decanting, the 2020 vintage has the structure and balance to develop beautifully over the next 10–15 years, and potentially longer under excellent cellaring conditions.

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

Food & Serving
A natural partner for Tuscan cuisine and richly flavoured dishes, this Brunello works particularly well with braised beef, wild boar ragù, roast lamb, grilled steak and aged hard cheeses such as Pecorino Toscano. Serve at approximately 18°C, allowing the bottle to come up gradually in temperature. Decant for 1–2 hours before serving, especially when enjoying the wine in its youth; older bottles should be decanted carefully to separate any sediment.

Producer
Founded in 1971, Casanova di Neri has become one of Montalcino’s most respected estates, known for combining traditional Brunello identity with meticulous research and modern precision. Tenuta Nuova is one of the winery’s landmark projects: a pioneering vineyard established on previously uncultivated ground for Sangiovese, developed through extensive study of the estate’s individual sites. The resulting wines have helped cement Casanova di Neri’s international reputation for Brunello that marries power, elegance and long-term ageing potential.
