As Wine Advocate notes, “Introduced in the early 1990s, Tenuta Nuova marked a stylistic turning point for the estate, emphasizing precision, ripeness and site expression.” Unlike most Brunello, the Neri family chooses to age Tenuta Nuova in small, mostly new, French oak casks to polish the tannins and help shape the site’s powerful ripeness. The oak shows a bit when young but then melds seamlessly into classic, powerful, Brunello. You can certainly enjoy tasting this now with vigerous decanting but it’s well worth waiting until 2028+ to let the wine unwind on its own.
“Citrus-infused herbal tea, crushed raspberries, pine shavings and incense beguile as the 2021 Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova blossoms in the glass. It is surprisingly juicy yet deep and complex, with tart wild berry saturation and nuances of ground clove that add cheek-pinching tension and a balancing tinge of zesty acidity. An array of edgy tannins frames the incredibly long finish, which is spicy and youthfully tense with a blackberry resonance. This is a fascinating vintage for Tenuta Nuova that shows a humbling level of complexity.” Vinous 96 points
“The Casanova di Neri 2021 Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova comes across as more lifted and punchy compared to recent past vintages, showing a brighter fruit profile and added energy. The mouthfeel is medium-rich, and while the wine initially felt reserved, a return to the open bottle revealed a more expressive and harmonious profile, indicating that it benefits from time or a quick double decant.” Wine Advocate 96 points
