Description

This unique interpretation of Cabernet Sauvignon, coming from the vineyard of the same name, is an eloquent illustration of how this grape variety is shaped by the territory.

The production of this wine involves a manual selection of the bunches before destemming, as well as an optical selection of the berries. The fermentation is spontaneous, without the use of added yeasts, and the maceration is followed by frequent punching down. Everything takes place in truncated cone-shaped steel vats at a controlled temperature for a period of 18 days.

The wine, of a young and intense red colour, displays an expressive and broad olfactory profile with rich notes of dark fruit that intertwine elegantly with liquorice and currants. In the mouth, it presents itself as a rich, full-bodied and enveloping wine, characterized by velvety tannins that reflect the generosity of the 2019 vintage. The finish is enveloping, with a good acidity that excellently balances the robust structure of this vintage.

Winery history

The estate was purchased and renamed Casanova di Neri by Giovanni Neri in the early 1970s; the company quickly developed, focusing on vineyard selection and Brunello di Montalcino, with the first bottles in the 1970s and the development of single-cru wines such as Cerretalto and Tenuta Nuova. In the following years management passed to the next generation and the winery established itself internationally, receiving accolades and numerous high scores.

Production philosophy

A pursuit of terroir expression through the selection of individual vineyards, careful agronomic management in the vineyard and winemaking practices designed to preserve the fruit. An approach that combines tradition and innovation, with attention to integrating the winery into the landscape and to low-impact practices.

Montalcino, Tuscany, Italy. The estate cultivates vineyards on multiple exposures in Montalcino, including parcels and crus such as Cerretalto, Tenuta Nuova, Pietradonice, Podernuovo, Fiesole, Collalli, Tocci and other plots in the Montalcino area.

Awards and recognitions

Notable international recognition: among others, the Brunello Tenuta Nuova was named "Wine of the Year" by Wine Spectator; the estate and some of its labels have received perfect 100/100 scores and other accolades from international publications.
