Tenuta Nuova Tinto

Description

**Casanova di Neri Tenuta Nuova** is a pioneering and visionary vineyard project that embodies the conviction and passion of Casanova di Neri. *Tenuta Nuova* means "new estate." It is a place where no one has planted Sangiovese before, and it reflects Casanova di Neri's aim to produce a powerful yet drinkable Brunello with high aging potential. **Harvest Notes** 2015 will be remembered as a true textbook vintage. The winter was mild overall, with temperatures within the average and abundant rainfall in January and February. Flowering occurred in the second week of April. The second half of April and all of May were rich in rainfall and sunny days, which led to regular development of the vegetative cycle, excellent water accumulation in the soil, and a regular, prosperous flowering that ended around late May. June and July were dry and hot, slightly above average. During the second week of August, rainfall lowered temperatures and considerably aided the ripening process. August and September continued with significant differences between daytime and nighttime temperatures, resulting in an almost perfect balance between acidity, tannins, and grape sugars. **Manual Harvest, second and third weeks of September** **Winemaking** Bunches are hand-selected before destemming, and the grapes are then sorted with an optical sorter. This is followed by spontaneous fermentation without added yeasts, with maceration facilitated by frequent pumping over. All of this takes place in temperature-controlled conical stainless steel tanks for 24 days. **Aging in oak barrels: 36 months** **Bottle aging: 12 months** **Awards** 19/100 *Vinum Wine Magazine*; 98/100 *Falstaff*; 98/100 WinesCritic.com; 17.5/20 Jancis Robinson **Allergen Information** Contains sulphites.
