ounded in 1971 by Giovanni Neri, Casanova di Neri is one of Montalcino's most celebrated family-owned estates. Under the leadership of Giacomo Neri and his family, the winery has earned international recognition for producing expressive, terroir-driven Brunello di Montalcino. Its vineyards occupy distinctive sites around Montalcino, each contributing its own character to the wines. The estate's portfolio ranges from its approachable, fruit-focused Brunello to prestigious bottlings such as Tenuta Nuova and Cerretalto. Combining meticulous vineyard selection, careful winemaking and extended maturation, Casanova di Neri is renowned for wines of remarkable concentration, precision, complexity and ageing potential.

Tenuta Nuova 2019 is a powerful yet refined expression of Sangiovese, combining dark cherry, blackberry and wild violet with eucalyptus, exotic spice and savoury herbal nuances. Concentrated fruit, finely structured tannins and fresh acidity create impressive depth and balance, culminating in a long, persistent finish. A serious Brunello built for cellaring

In my mind, this is the wine that best represents the Casanova di Neri house style. With 30 months of aging in tonneaux, it shows enormous richness and texture, and the stellar fruit quality appears with more primary elegance compared to the more expensive Cerretalto that is released with an extra year of aging. That dynamic is especially pronounced in a comparison of the 2019 and 2018 vintages. The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova has a dark vein of toasted spice, black fruit, ink, blackberry compote, licorice and star anise. Dark as night, it is exceptionally well crafted with a robust delivery of concentrated fruit and solid tannic structure. You can count on excellent cellar potential, or at a minimum, serve it with a classic steak.
