Grape: Sangiovese
Tasting Notes: Black Cherry, Plum, Herbs, Mineral
Casanova di Neri was established in 1971, when Giovanni Neri acquired an estate not far from the town of Montalcino. In 1978 they produced their first Brunello di Montalcino. Tenuta Nuova has been produced since 1993. It represents Casanova di Neri's 'newer' vineyard of Le Cetine in the southern reaches of Montalcino
The Tenuta Nuove is full-bodied and chewy with intense tannins but has velvety richness. There is a potpouri of flavors and aromas rolling out of the glass. There's black fruits and red fruits, herbs, minerals, black olive, oak, and licorice to name a few. Pair this with lasagna with meat sauce. Best after 2025 or decant for an hour or more.
