2021 Casanova di Neri Tenuta Nuova Brunello di Montalcino

Tenuta Nuova is a pioneering and visionary vineyard project emboding the belief and passion of Casanova di Neri. Tenuta Nuova means new property; Tenuta Nuova is a place where nobody planted Sangiovese before; Tenuta Nuova is the will of Casanova di Neri to produce a powerful yet drinkable Brunello with a high ageing potential. The project began with the study of varied local microclimates and their optimal exposures. Through a cautious and passionate research Casanova di Neri has used the most sophisticated scientific investigations to determine the clones, rootstocks, cultivation practices, plant density per hectare and every possible particular to obtain excellent Sangiovese grapes.

Deep dark red with notes of blackberries, dark chocolate, incense, and rosemary. The 2021 vintage enhances the Mediterranean character of Tenuta Nuova: full body, incredibly ripe tannins, and lively tension give this wine a rare completeness. The rich and very long finish is chiseled by a vibrant acidity that perfectly frames the greatness of the 2021 vintage.

2021 winter was marked by mild temperatures and average rainfall. The germination took place between the last week of March and the first of April. Spring continued with a return of cold which slowed the development of vegetation. May and June were hot and dry and they allowed the plants to catch up. The ripening continued regularly and the harvest began in the second week of September.
