Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova Casanova di Neri 2010

Tenuta Nuova Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino 2010 is a mature, full-bodied red wine produced from Sangiovese grapes in the Brunello di Montalcino appellation of Tuscany. Tenuta Nuova means `new property` and this forward-thinking winery is just that. The property has been established after extensive research into vineyard site, clonal and rootstock selection, cultivation practices and plant density in order to produce powerful yet drinkable Brunello wines with good ageing potential. The property has quickly established a reputation for producing some of the finest Sangiovese in the Brunello appellation – with the 100-point scores to prove it. "Giacomo Neri has produced one of the two 100-point wines I discovered in my tasting of 2010 Brunello di Montalcino. He is not new to triple-digit wine scores and I had given one to him before for the 2007 Brunello di Montalcino Cerretalto. I mention that because it is important to underline the impressive consistency in quality achieved by Casanova di Neri. Only a handful of Italian wineries can claim this distinction. His newest release from the exceptional Tenuta Nuova vineyard cru is a wine of soaring intensity, beauty and perfection. It`s one of those wines you can`t put down until the contents of the bottle have sadly dwindled to the final drops of precious liquid. The style is bold and opulent and the 2010 vintage is especially nuanced with the subtle beauty that only Sangiovese can display." Monica Larner, 2015
