Description
What kind of wine it is
Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova by Casanova di Neri is a red wine that embodies the elegance of Brunello di Montalcino. Made from Sangiovese grapes selected from the Cerretalto vineyard, it displays an intense ruby red colour with garnet highlights. On the nose, it offers deep Mediterranean aromas, fruity and spicy notes. The palate is profound and savoury, supported by a fine tannic structure suitable for very long ageing. It pairs beautifully with braised meats and game, mature cheeses, and pork-based dishes.
Where it comes from
This Tuscan red is born in a privileged area south of Montalcino. The area's Mediterranean climate shapes the wine's identity, imparting finesse and unmistakable aromas. The richness of the microclimate is reflected in spontaneous botanical elements such as mastic and thyme that surround the vineyards. The agronomic approach combines rigorous research on the land with targeted study of the vines, enhancing the potential of Sangiovese. Such technical rigour faithfully expresses the authentic essence of the Montalcino terroir.
How it is produced
Production begins with a meticulous harvest between late September and early October. In the cellar, fermentation and maceration on the skins lasts for twenty-three days, extracting colour and complexity. The wine then matures in small oak barrels for thirty months, an essential stage for consolidating its structure. This is followed by a further bottle ageing of eighteen months. This period ensures the perfect integration of the aromatic components, resulting in a flavourful and highly enjoyable sip.
History and Curiosities
Born from the union of passion and research, Tenuta Nuova is a renowned Brunello di Montalcino DOCG by Casanova di Neri. It originates from a careful clonal selection of Sangiovese from the Cerretalto vineyard, capturing its vibrant Mediterranean soul. The patient maturation in oak for thirty months, combined with a long period of rest in the bottle, shapes a tannic structure of extraordinary finesse. Offered in the prestigious Magnum format for the 2021 vintage, this multi-award-winning masterpiece promises a very long evolution and a tasting experience of absolute enjoyment.
