Tasting notes
The 2008 Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova is a light-footed wine with a delicate approach. The bouquet is laced with small berry aromas and red currant with balsam herb, grilled rosemary, violets and exotic spice. Compared to the previous vintage, this wine does not have as much volume or density. It is softly layered, silky and finely textured instead. This wine is drinking beautifully right now.

The estate's 2008 Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova is bold, frank and direct. Mocha, plums, black cherries, savory herbs and flowers are some of the notes that take shape in the glass. Overall, the 2008 is a fairly mid-weight Tenuta Nuova, with less structure than the 2006 or 2007, but with plenty of early appeal. The dense, layered finish is highly appealing.
Deep ruby with orange rim. Sweet and a little jammy. Undertones of oak and tea leaves. Lots of concentrated sweet ripe fruit, but acidity pulls it together. Hedonistic and quite immediate. Big tannin on the finish. (WS)
