Casanova di Neri Tenuta Nuova Brunello 2007

A flagship representation of the brunello grape! Rich and earthy with very supple tannins. This wine has always been well rated by the press. The 2001 was a 100 point wine! It always boasts notable concentration and remarkable elegance.

Expert Review

95+ Points - Wine Advocate, April 2012
"..saturates the palate with masses of super-ripe dark fruit, tar, licorice and new leather. The Tenuta Nuova is an especially full-bodied, seamless Sangiovese deeply influenced by the Mediterranean climate of this warm site in the south of Monalcino. Layers of fruit build to an effortless, resonant finish laced with considerable aromatic nuance. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2027."

93 points - "Effusive aromas of ripe cherry, plum tart and cedar lead to a macerated cherry flavor, with plenty of spice accents as this gains steam. Just a touch hot on the balance now, with assertive tannins, yet this blossoms after a few hours in the glass. Best from
2015 through 2030."

Food Pairings

Seriously anything tomatoey sings with Sangiovese, pizza and pasta to be sure. Sausages, chicken, gazpacho. Bread salad.
