Casanova Di Neri Brunello Di Montalcino Tinto

Description

Founded in 1971 by Giovanni Neri, who with his great vision and passion recognised the enormous potential of wine in the Montalcino region, he passed it on to his son Giacomo in 1991. Casanova di Neri represents the Neri Family’s Casanova Estate. Production began on the eastern side of Montalcino and was later extended to other areas. First came the Cerretalto vineyard, a unique terroir in a natural amphitheatre on the Asso River where old vines produce a Sangiovese different from the others, with small, well‑spaced bunches, from which a selective variety was grown and used in other vineyards, particularly Tenuta Nuova. The acquisition of Cerretalto was followed by Le Cetine, Pietradonice and then Podernovo. All this was done to research the best soils and exposures in order to produce unique and recognisable wines. Today the estate covers about 500 hectares, of which 63 are vineyards, 20 are olive groves, and the remainder are fallow arable land and forest. (illustrative image)
