Casanova di Neri Brunello Montalcino Tenuta Nuova 2017

Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova 2017 is a modern icon from one of Montalcino’s most respected estates, crafted from meticulously selected Sangiovese. Conceived as a Brunello with singular character, it originates from vineyards chosen after extensive research into soils, exposure and microclimate. The 2017 vintage continues the Tenuta Nuova legacy: a powerful yet refined expression that has helped redefine what top-tier Brunello can be on the world stage.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the 2017 Tenuta Nuova shows a deep, vibrant ruby core with garnet reflections developing toward the rim, hinting at its youth and future evolution. The nose is layered and intense, revealing dark cherry, black plum and wild berries intertwined with notes of dried herbs, Mediterranean scrub, licorice, tobacco, cedar and a subtle balsamic lift. Underneath lie hints of violet, spice and mineral tones that speak directly of its Tuscan origin. On the palate, this Brunello is full-bodied yet finely structured, with firm, polished tannins and a taut, energetic backbone. Flavors of ripe red and black cherries, blood orange, savory herbs and sweet spice unfold gradually, supported by a vibrant acidity that keeps the wine fresh and focused. The oak is seamlessly integrated, adding texture and subtle notes of cocoa and vanilla without overshadowing the fruit. Still youthful and structured in 2017, it offers immediate pleasure with air but is clearly built to age gracefully for 12–18 years from vintage, gaining complexity and tertiary notes of leather, truffle and forest floor over time.

Production
Tenuta Nuova is born from two key vineyards, Pietradonice and Le Cetine, chosen after detailed study of Montalcino’s geology and microclimates. These sites benefit from excellent exposure and a distinctive Mediterranean environment marked by wild herbs and shrubs such as heather, thyme, juniper and other native flora that contribute to the wine’s aromatic profile. Casanova di Neri’s team undertook intensive research to match the best Sangiovese clones and rootstocks to each parcel, optimizing vine density and training to achieve perfectly balanced, concentrated fruit. Grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness, carefully sorted, and vinified with close attention to extraction and temperature to preserve purity and finesse. The wine is then aged in small oak barrels for 24–30 months, depending on the character of the vintage, followed by at least one year of bottle maturation before release, allowing its elements to harmonize.

Food & Serving
Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova 2017 is a natural partner for rich, savory dishes such as bistecca alla fiorentina, slow-braised beef or lamb, game birds, wild boar ragù and truffle-infused pasta. It also pairs beautifully with aged cheeses like Parmigiano Reggiano or matured pecorino. Serve at 16–18°C (about 60–64°F) to highlight its aromatic complexity and structural balance. Decanting for 1–2 hours is strongly recommended in its youth to fully open the bouquet and soften the tannins, especially if enjoyed within the first decade after the vintage.
