Casanova di Neri, Brunello Montalcino Tenuta Nuova other_regions_italy a hint of animale andBright 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.
