Casanova di Neri, Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova 2020

Casanova di Neri’s Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova 2020 is a distinctive expression of Sangiovese from one of Tuscany’s most respected estates. Created from a pioneering vineyard project in an area where Sangiovese had not previously been planted, it combines Brunello’s traditional identity with remarkable precision, energy and contemporary elegance.

Tasting Notes
Deep ruby in colour, the wine opens with an expressive and intense bouquet of youthful red fruit, ripe blackberry and the characteristic balsamic notes associated with Brunello di Montalcino. Subtle herbal and earthy nuances add further complexity as the wine evolves in the glass. On the palate, Tenuta Nuova is rich and persistent, balancing power with impressive drinkability. Its structure is firm yet polished, supported by silky tannins and a long, refined finish. The 2020 vintage offers both immediate appeal and considerable ageing potential; it should develop beautifully over the next 10–20 years, and can reward longer cellaring under suitable conditions.

Production
Tenuta Nuova was conceived after detailed studies of Montalcino’s local microclimates and vineyard exposures, with careful attention given to Sangiovese clones, rootstocks, planting density and cultivation methods. The grapes are hand-harvested, then carefully selected and destemmed before spontaneous fermentation without added yeast. Maceration takes place in temperature-controlled conical stainless-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
This structured Brunello is a natural partner for Tuscan and Italian cuisine, including bistecca alla Fiorentina, slow-cooked beef, wild boar ragù, roast lamb, game birds and mature hard cheeses. Serve at approximately 18°C, ideally after allowing the bottle to warm gently from cellar temperature. Decant for 1–2 hours when drinking young to soften the tannins and reveal the wine’s aromatic depth; older bottles should be decanted carefully to remove any sediment.

Producer
Founded in 1971, Casanova di Neri has become one of the leading names in Montalcino, known for combining deep respect for Sangiovese with meticulous vineyard research and modern precision. Tenuta Nuova reflects the estate’s visionary approach: rather than relying solely on established vineyard sites, Casanova di Neri developed a new planting project designed around the most promising local conditions. The result is a Brunello recognised for its balance of power, elegance and long-term ageing ability, and a defining wine in the estate’s portfolio.
