Tasting notes
The 2007 Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova shows thick body mass and volume. But it also appears to be on the distant outer edge of oxidation. There is a good amount of meat on these bones with dark fruit nuances, roasted almond, honey, chestnut and pressed roses. The more evolved side of the bouquet shows smoked bacon and dried bresaola. If you have a bottle, you might start bringing it up from your cellar.

Medium red. Very rich aromas of plum, mocha, dried flowers, underbrush and leather, along with a liqueur-like suggestion of marc de Chateauneuf. Supple, plush and highly concentrated, with superripe fruit flavors slightly leavened by harmonious acidity. A distinctly viscous, fruit-driven wine that could use a bit more class and definition but will please fans of outsized Brunello. Finishes with a bit of youthful aggressiveness.
The 2007 Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova saturates the palate with masses of super-ripe dark fruit, tar, licorice and new leather. The Tenuta Nuova is an especially full-bodied, seamless Sangiovese deeply influenced by the Mediterranean climate of this warm site in the south of Montalcino. Layers of fruit build to an effortless, resonant finish laced with considerable aromatic nuance. This is another terrific showing from Giacomo Neri and his talented team.
