At first sight, Brunello Di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova immediately portents greatness through the sheer intensity of its bright red colour. The bouquet is very expressive and intense, with notes of young red fruit, blackberry and the typical balsamic suggestions. Sweet, ripe strawberry and cherry fruit melds seamlessly with the dense, refined structure of this red. Saline, liquorice and spice accents add complexity as it lingers gracefully on the finish, showing terrific harmony and expression.

Casanova Di Neri

Founded in 1971 by Giovanni Neri who with his great vision and passion understood the huge potential of wine in the Montalcino territory it was passed on to his son Giacomo in 1991. Casanova di Neri does in fact stands for the Casanova Estate of the Neri Family. The production started in the Eastern part of Montalcino and was extended later in other areas. First came the Cerretalto vineyard a unique terroir in a natural amphitheatre over the Asso river in which the old vines produced a Sangiovese different from the others with small bunches of well-distanced grapes from which a selective variety was grown that was used in our other vineyards particularly in Tenuta Nuova. The acquisition of Cerretalto was followed by that of Le Cetine Pietradonice and then Podernovo. All this by researching the best soil and exposures so as to produce unique and recognizable wines. The first Brunello harvest was 1978. This was followed by Cerretalto1981 Rosso di Montalcino 1982 Tenuta Nuova 1993 Pietradonice 2000 IrRosso di Casanova di Neri and the last one Ibbianco 2011. In the course of our small yet at the same time great history, we have received awards from the most important reviews and opinion leaders of national and international wine critics. Currently, the estate covers a surface of around 500 hectares of which 63 are vineyards 20 olive groves and the rest arable land and forest.
