2019 Casanova di Neri "Tenuta Nuova" Brunello di Montalcino (Pre-Arrival) ($129.99) "...it is exceptionally well crafted with a robust delivery of concentrated fruit and solid tannic structure. You can count on excellent cellar potential..." — Monica Larner, Wine Advocate Casanova di Neri's Tenuta Nuova is a banner release in any vintage, and especially in a landmark campaign like 2019. Showing the quintessential Casanova di Neri style, the 2019 Tenuta Nuova is built for the cellar. Giacomo Neri had a pioneering vision when he established Tenuta Nuova - this is a great trophy option for Brunello collectors or fine wine lovers just getting started in the category. 2019 Casanova di Neri "Tenuta Nuova" Brunello di Montalcino (Pre-Arrival) ($129.99) *Pre-arrival item is expected to be available for shipment or pickup in autumn 2024. 97 points Wine Advocate: "In my mind, this is the wine that best represents the Casanova di Neri house style. With 30 months of aging in tonneaux, it shows enormous richness and texture, and the stellar fruit quality appears with more primary elegance compared to the more expensive Cerretalto that is released with an extra year of aging. That dynamic is especially pronounced in a comparison of the 2019 and 2018 vintages. The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova has a dark vein of toasted spice, black fruit, ink, blackberry compote, licorice and star anise. Dark as night, it is exceptionally well crafted with a robust delivery of concentrated fruit and solid tannic structure. You can count on excellent cellar potential, or at a minimum, serve it with a classic steak. (ML)" (12/2023) 97 points Jeb Dunnuck: "A jeweled ruby color, the 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova takes things to the next level at this estate. Offering a deeply layered bouquet of kirsch, dark chocolate, crushed rosemary, and lavender oils, on the palate it’s rich with flavors of blood orange oils, velvety tannins, warming spice, and a long finish that soars above and beyond, with saline accents taking it to the next level. The bouquet in incredible and keeps going for ages. It spent 36 months in 500-liter used barrels. (AF)" (02/2024) 96 points James Suckling: "Black cherries with violets and other flowers on the nose. Full-bodied with chewy tannins and a juicy finish. Needs time to soften. Give it three to five years of bottle age." (09/2023) 96 points Wine Spectator: "The fruit profile in this red is ripe, with boysenberry, cherry and raspberry flavors that show shades of earth, iron and tobacco. More linear than square, with a steely line of acidity and tannins for support. Though balanced, this is compact for now, with fine length. (BS)" (06/2024)
