This vintage marks a stylistic shift in this retrospective. The 2009 Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova proudly demonstrates a level of energetic brightness and crispness that you taste with unquestioned intensity here. This quality is buried in most of the previous editions of Tenuta Nuova. This vintage in particular exhibits ripe fruit with blackberry, prune and plum. But the mouthfeel is anything but heavy or flat. Instead, it shows buoyancy and verve.

Smells slightly jammy, with floral, cherry, raspberry and balsamic flavors. Silky and persistent, with refined tannins on the finish. Needs time to integrate fully. Best from 2016 through 2027. 3,800 cases made, 1,000 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add
