2020 Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova

This is one of the absolute top wines from Montalcino from the Casanova di Neri estate. This wine was the first Brunello where the highest quality was pursued and the land was worked with great respect. The grapes were picked by hand in September. The grapes were then fermented for a period of 23 days. The maturation of this wine took place for a period of 29 months in French oak barrels of 500 liters, after which the further maturation in the bottle was continued for at least another year. This producer belongs to the new generation of Brunello producers. The company was started in 1971, when Giovanni Neri bought the largest estate in the Montalcino area. The estate has a total of 39 hectares and is divided into 4 vineyards. The oldest vineyard is 50 years old. The vineyards are located at an altitude of approximately 350 meters above sea level. Casanova di Neri is one of the best producers of Brunello wines.

The Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova from the Casanova di Neri estate belongs to the absolute top among the Brunellos and the 2013 is a very beautiful vintage ever and also gets 97 and 98/100 pints from Parker and Suckling. This Brunello goes further than any other Brunello. Everything about this wine is nuanced and complex. Casanova di Neri has the unique quality to harvest during the optimal ripeness and this is very precise and this ultimately makes a huge difference in the glass. It is difficult to stay away from this wine but let it lie for a few more years. Collectors and investors will certainly leave this wine for another 10 years, but we advise to uncork the first bottle from 2022 and the storage potential is until 2040+
