    After Giovanni Neri acquired Podere Casanova in 1971 and renamed it Casanova di Neri, he immediately began restoring the existing Sangiovese vines and planting new ones. Over time, he acquired additional vineyards, each offering ideal conditions for producing high-quality wines. Today, Casanova di Neri owns seven vineyards with varying soils and microclimates: Fiesole, Cerretalto, Collalli, Podernuovo, Pietradonice, Giovanni Neri, and Cetine.


    Tenuta Nuova means “new estate” – a place where Sangiovese had never been planted before. It embodies Casanova di Neri’s desire to produce a powerful yet drinkable Brunello with significant aging potential. Through careful and passionate research, Casanova di Neri has employed the most advanced scientific studies to determine the best clones, rootstocks, cultivation methods, and plant density per hectare to achieve exceptional Sangiovese grapes.

  • Tasting notes

    Giacomo Neri and his family have crafted a wine that impresses from the first sip forward (especially when the wine is given ample time to open). The Casanova di Neri 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova must be treated with patience, and that patience is returned with many great rewards. Blackberry, plum and summer cherry are slowly folded into lasting flavors of spice, leather and beautiful balsam or medicinal herb. These are always a distinctive signature of this estate. The aromas flow with seamless transitions, and that fluid and ever-changing nature of the bouquet is what helps to build intensity and staying power. Fruit is harvested from a south- and southeast-facing slope at 250 to 300 meters above sea level. The soils are mixed loosely with crushed rock, allowing access to air and moisture. Indeed, pretty mineral accents appear as the wine takes on more air in the glass. What stands out most in this Brunello is the quality of the bouquet that is rigid and firm, yet not excessively so. You feel the structural texture of the wine as it sits firmly over the palate, yet there is mobility and softness to its many moving parts. I tasted this wine at various intervals over a 24-hour period. Tenuta Nuova was bottled in June 2018, and some 70,032 bottles were released. (01.2020) 98+/100 - robertparker.com
