The 2020 Casanova di Neri, Tenuta Nuova Brunello di Montalcino, Tuscany was a Merchant's Pick

Approachable & Ageworthy, A Wonderful Combination

February 20, 2025

Casanova di Neri's Tenuta Nuova is one of the most sought-after Brunellos of this millennium.  

The 2001 Casanova di Neri Tenuta Nuova was the #1 Wine Spectator Top 100 Wine.  A close second was the 100-point 2010 Casanova Tenuta Nuova. Since then, almost every vintage from Casanova di Neri has been a Montalcino masterpiece.  James Suckling awarded the 2015 a spot among his Top 100 Wines in which he declared this stunning Sangiovese "impresses from the first sip."  The 2019 was a historic vintage and the 2020 continues the tradition of great Brunello from this estate.

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... 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." Wine Advocate

Casanova di Neri is among the top five Brunello producers.   Their 2020 Tenuta Nuova Brunello belongs alongside your treasure chest of Brunelli from the likes of Valdicava, Gaja, Giodo, Canalicchio, and Biondi Santi.    

 

A must-have vintage and wine - one you do not want to miss! The wines are deep, nuanced, rustic, and expressive. 

 

If Casanova di Neri isn't in your cellar, it should be!

 

Extremely limited.  First come, first served.

 

Enjoy!

One Of the All-Time Greats!

“Both approachable now and impeccably structured .”

Jeb Dunnuck • 97 / 100

"The 2020 Brunello Di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova is perfumed with preserved flowers, kirsch, fresh herbs, sage, and mossy earth. Full and elegant, it offers a silky mouthfeel, ripe tannins, even acidity, and a lovely, pure, concentrated, fresh feel. It's long on the palate, with its mouthwatering salinity and prettier red strawberry-noted perfume lasting on the finish. It's both approachable now and impeccably structured to enjoy over the coming 15-20 years. "

“Incredibly appealing in its youth, this is a truly age-worthy Brunello.”

International Wine Review • 97 / 100

"The 2020 'Tenuta Nuova' Brunello is a once again a gorgeous wine from the Neri Family. It delivers beautifully perfumed aromatics of red cherries and red berries, layered with floral tones, exotic spices, orange zest, and herbal nuances. Medium-bodied and effortlessly silky, it offers a finely tuned structure with impeccable balance and precision. The vibrant red fruit is lifted by a lively, crystalline acidity that imparts exceptional freshness and energy, carrying gracefully through the refined, lingering finish. While already incredibly appealing in its youth, this is a truly age-worthy Brunello with the structure to evolve beautifully over time."

“Serve it with a classic steak.”

Wine Advocate • 97 / 100

"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..."
