Casanova di Neri was purchased by current proprietor Giacomo Neri’s father in 1971. Today, the estate’s 155 acres of vineyards are located mostly east of the town of Montalcino, including Cerretalto, a 12-acre parcel, while the 62-acre Tenuta Nuova lies farther south.

Tasting Notes

Casanova Di Neri Tenuta Nuova Brunello Di Montalcino 2013 represents the pinnacle of Tuscany’s esteemed winemaking tradition. Originating from carefully cultivated vineyards covering 155 acres east of Montalcino and the exclusive 62-acre Tenuta Nuova estate to the south, this Brunello di Montalcino exemplifies the elegance, depth, and complexity that define this prestigious appellation.

The 2013 vintage benefits from the Montalcino region’s exceptional terroir, where a warm Mediterranean climate and well-drained soils foster optimal ripening of Sangiovese grapes. This combination produces wines with remarkable balance, vibrant acidity, and intricate flavor layers. Sourced from a premium private cellar, the wine demonstrates excellent aging potential and consistent quality.

Critically acclaimed by James Suckling with an outstanding 98 points, this Brunello showcases a refined structure complemented by intense aromas and rich flavors. The bouquet reveals ripe red berries interwoven with subtle spice notes, culminating in a velvety, lingering finish. The influence of the Cerretalto vineyard, a prized 12-acre parcel within the estate, adds a distinctive complexity and depth to the wine’s profile.

Since its acquisition by Giacomo Neri’s father in 1971, Casanova di Neri has embraced sustainable viticulture and innovative techniques, ensuring each bottle reflects both tradition and modern precision. The Tenuta Nuova Brunello di Montalcino 2013 is a testament to this legacy, embodying the powerful yet nuanced character that makes Italian wines celebrated worldwide.

This wine pairs seamlessly with rich Tuscan cuisine, enhancing dishes with its layered fruit and spice notes, or can be savored on its own to fully appreciate its sophisticated flavor spectrum. A top-tier Brunello for collectors and connoisseurs, it highlights the unique quality and heritage of Montalcino’s terroir.

Critic Scores

A vivid and bright red with intense blueberries and raspberries. Floral undertones and tons of citrus, too! Full-bodied, dense and layered. Polished tannins and fantastic fruit. The muscularity of the structure is what gives this wine focus and intensity. So serious for the vintage. Give it time to show its greatness.

This is a bold and expressive Brunello that displays tightly knit aromas of Morello cherry, spice, leather and balsam herb that are the building blocks of the most beautiful Brunellos that come to mind. The Casanova di Neri house style implies a modern and sophisticated approach for sure. But the inner spirit and texture of Sangiovese is so fine and polished in its natural state that it hardly matters. The personality of the grape shines through with a loud and confident voice.

Sweet, ripe strawberry and cherry fruit melds seamlessly with the dense, refined structure of this red. Saline, licorice and spice accents add complexity as this lingers gracefully on the finish. Terrific harmony and expression.

Bright deep red. The youthfully reticent nose hints at flinty red cherry, blueberry, graphite, cedar and pepper. Then flavors similar to the aromas, and a tight acid spine and serious but polished tannins nicely extending and framing the brooding fruit notes and peppery flintiness on the long, deep, complex finish. A truly outstanding Tenuta Nuova Brunello that seems less fruit-forward and more shut down than usual but holds exciting promise. Interestingly, some of this wine’s elements, such as its flinty nuances, reminded me of Casanova di Neri’s Cerretalto Brunello (made with grapes grown at the opposite end of the Montalcino territory). I guess my palate needs to take a vacation. This knockout wine will age splendidly and will likely merit an even higher score in eight to ten years’ time.

Vinification & Cultivation

Crafted only for our premium wines

Vineyard Cultivation

Tenuta Nuova's terroir—warm exposure, calcareous-clay soils, and Montalcino's altitude—shaped the 2013 vintage. The season proved warmer and drier than 2012, with abundant sunshine from June onward fostering fruit concentration and phenolic maturity. Water stress, moderate by the vineyard's standards, encouraged the vine to focus energy into ripeness. The result was fruit with riper tannins and lower acidity than the preceding vintage, yet retaining Brunello's structural framework and potential for bottle-age development.

Vinification

Natural yeast fermentation proceeded in temperature-managed vessels, allowing complexity to build through slow conversion. Extended skin contact in the post-fermentation phase deepened tannin extraction and colour intensity. The wine was then aged in large Slavonian oak—Casanova di Neri's consistent vessel choice—permitting gradual phenolic maturation and aromatic integration. Malolactic fermentation in barrel added further textural dimension. The élevage lasted years, reflecting both house tradition and regulatory Brunello timelines, before bottling and further maturation.
