Region: Tuscany, Italy

Vintage: 2015

Composition: 100% Sangiovese

History: Founded in 1971 by Giovanni Neri, who with his great vision and passion understood the enormous potential of wine in the Montalcino territory, it was handed down to his son Giacomo in 1991. Production began in the eastern part of Montalcino and then expanded spread to other areas. First came the Cerretalto vineyard, a unique terroir in a natural amphitheater on the Asso River in which the old vines produced a Sangiovese different from the others, with small well-spaced grape clusters, from which a selective variety was cultivated that took advantage of in other vineyards particularly in Tenuta Nuova.

Tasting Notes:

“Usual very young ruby red. Great balance at the nose among small red fruits and spices followed by hints of chocolate. The greatness of the vintage comes out immediately at the first sip: amazing balance among all the components with perfectly ripe tannins and bright acidity. Everything is standing for a great immediate pleasure providing at the same time a great aging potential.” – Giovani Neri
