Casanova di Neri Brunello Tenuta Nuova 2017

Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino “Tenuta Nuova” 2017

A modern icon of Brunello di Montalcino, Tenuta Nuova represents Casanova di Neri’s most innovative and terroir-driven expression of Sangiovese. Sourced from carefully selected vineyards on the southeastern slopes of Montalcino, this cuvée was created to capture purity of fruit, structure, and precision—qualities that shine even in the warm 2017 vintage.

The nose is intense and polished, offering aromas of ripe black cherry, plum, and wild berry, layered with violet, sweet balsamic notes, and hints of tobacco, licorice, and cedar. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and beautifully concentrated, with dense yet refined tannins balanced by vibrant acidity. Dark red fruit flavors are complemented by savory spice, mineral undertones, and a long, resonant finish.

While more powerful and immediately expressive than Casanova di Neri’s classical Brunellos, the 2017 Tenuta Nuova retains impressive balance and freshness, making it approachable with decanting today while clearly built for long-term aging.
