Tenuta Nuova represents a bold innovation in the world of wine, a pioneering project located south-east of Montalcino, where never before had the cultivation of vines been experimented with. The objective of this ambitious project was clear from the beginning: to create a Brunello di Montalcino with an extraordinary personality. This wine stands out for its impeccable structure, refinement, quality and quantity of tannins, its length in the mouth, ease of drinking and aging potential.
Tenuta Nuova is anchored in an exceptional terroir, characterized by a unique soil, an ideal microclimate and a flora typical of the Mediterranean scrub that surrounds the vineyards. These elements, together with the skilful work of man, create the perfect conditions to produce a distinctive and unforgettable wine.
As regards the 2016 harvest, the winter was characterized by mild weather with abundant rain in February; bud break was regular in the first week of April. Flowering occurred in the last week of May with sunny weather, perfect for good fruit set. The summer was generally mild, without excessive heat peaks and with some rain. Ripening took place slowly and steadily, also thanks to the notable temperature variations between day and night in the days preceding the harvest which favored an almost perfect ripening of the grapes.
The harvest was carried out manually in mid-September, and the winemaking was guided by the manual selection of the grapes, spontaneous fermentation and a long maceration. The wine then aged in barrel for 37 months, followed by a further 12 months in the bottle, before being considered ready to be enjoyed.
The result is an extraordinary Brunello di Montalcino, with a bright and deep red color, aromas that blend the balsamic of Tenuta Nuova with the purity of red fruit. In the mouth, it is savory and powerful, with a firm tannin that blends with incredible depth. This is a wine destined to leave an indelible mark on the hearts of wine connoisseurs.
