Tenuta Nuova (New Property or New Farm) was a project by the Neris to exploit undeveloped land within the Brunello di Montalcino appellation. The land the Neris saw was thought to be too rocky but, to the Neris it was promising. So, in 1988, they took cuttings from their Cerretalto vineyard and planted this space 100% to Sangiovese and named the vineyard Le Cetine. The results from the vineyard have rewarded the Neris as their Tenuta Nuova is consistently exceptional.
Staff Description
Matt Gundlach Says: I was excited to try this wine so when it arrived at the store and it just so happened that I had a reservation that night at Code di Volpe so its arrival was serendipitous. This vintage, while deep and forward had a brighter acid profile than other recent vintages giving it a little more nerve. Still, this special vineyard bottling had the structure, richness and depth that is its signature. The 2021 Brunellos are looking to be great and this one doesn't disappoint!
Jeb Dunnuck: 100 Points
The 2021 Brunello Di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova pours a deep red hue and opens with an exceptionally layered bouquet of suede, cigar box, tobacco, black cherries, and plum. Full-bodied, it’s packed with youthful tension at this stage, but it has a seamless, weightless feel, with polished tannins, refreshing acidity, and a flinty mineral edge that keeps the finish lifted and long. It’s a gorgeous Tenuta Nuova that has everything working in harmony and will only improve with time in bottle.

Though tightly wound, this red reveals a buried core of strawberry, cherry, iron and wild herbs. A harmonious version, with a linear profile wrapped in firm acidity and tannins. Best from 2029 through 2049. 4,900 cases made, 1,500 cases imported.—B.S.
James Suckling: 98 Points
Dark berry, walnut, cedar, thyme and some caramel aromas that follow through to a medium to full body with firm tannins and a tight and racy mouthfeel. Citrus and cherries at the end. Needs time to open and soften, but this is a solid Brunello.
Vinous Media: 96 Points
Citrus-infused herbal tea, crushed raspberries, pine shavings and incense beguile as the 2021 Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova blossoms in the glass. It is surprisingly juicy yet deep and complex, with tart wild berry saturation and nuances of ground clove that add cheek-pinching tension and a balancing tinge of zesty acidity. An array of edgy tannins frames the incredibly long finish, which is spicy and youthfully tense with a blackberry resonance. This is a fascinating vintage for Tenuta Nuova that shows a humbling level of complexity. (EG)
