Casanova di Neri Brunello Tenuta Nuova DOCG 2017 6.0L

Here is the wine that is at the top every year when various reviewers have to describe Brunello di Montalcino. A single vineyard wine that Giacomo Neri created when, many years ago, he bought a place in S. Angelo in Colle, where no one had ever tried wine before. Giacomo believed in this enormous rocky place with a completely unique microclimate and called the place Tenuta Nuova, NEW VINEYARD .

Since the first vintage in 1993 was presented, the status and fame of this wine has only gone one way, and that is up. It has received most awards imaginable. Some have complained about new oak, which was the case until approx. 10 years ago, when Giovanni Neri, Giacomo's eldest son, took over the field and cellar.

This has meant that today Tenuta Nuova is a wine where notes of new oak have been replaced by elegance, balance and delicious fruit. Giovanni Neri is simply a genius in the field and he will take Casanova di Neri to new heights.

After the harvest on the second and third 3 weeks of September 2017, the whole berries have spontaneously fermented for 24 days both on tins and stainless steel, after which the wine is matured for 30 months in used tonneux.

2017 was a very difficult year. In the spring, at the worst possible time, the frost came and took a lot of grapes. The summer was extremely hot, and the end of that was, among other things, that production has been 30% below normal.

Giovanni has sorted and sorted and it has been necessary to get a wine at the level he wants.

The result is a very nice wine
