Country: Italy / Tenuta Nuova
Variety: Sangiovese Grosso Tuscany
Winery: Casanova di Neri / Brunello di Montalcino
Brunello Tenuta Nuova opens with inky dark consistency and immediate aromas of old spice, leather, toasted oak and dried fruit that pop right out of the glass. Dark licorice and espresso add to the overall complexity. There’s a touch of sweet spice on the close with ripe, chewy tannins.
