Tasting Notes

The 2020 Casanova di Neri *Tenuta Nuova* Brunello di Montalcino is a polished and powerful expression of Sangiovese from one of Montalcino’s most respected modern estates. It opens with deep aromas of black cherry, red plum, dried rose, and warm spices, followed by subtle notes of tobacco and wild herb. The palate is concentrated yet refined, with ripe fruit framed by fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity that gives the wine lift and precision. Long, layered, and structured for aging, this is a Brunello that balances richness with elegance—built to drink beautifully now with air, and even more compelling over the next decade and beyond.
