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!
