Casanova Di Neri Tenuta Nuova Brunello Di Montalcino Tinto

Description

Founded in 1971 by Giovanni Neri, who with his vision and passion recognised the immense potential of wine in Montalcino, he passed the estate to his son Giacomo in 1991. Casanova di Neri is the Neri Family’s Casanova Estate. Production began on the eastern side of Montalcino and was later expanded to other areas. First came the Cerretalto vineyard, a unique terroir in a natural amphitheatre above the Asso River where old vines yield a Sangiovese distinct from others, with small, well‑spaced grape clusters; from it a selective variety was cultivated and used in other plots, notably at Tenuta Nuova. The acquisition of Cerretalto was followed by Le Cetine, Pietradonice and then Podernovo, all aimed at exploring the best soils and exposures to produce distinctive, recognisable wines. Today the estate spans roughly 500 hectares, of which 63 are vineyards, 20 olive groves, fallow arable land and forest. (illustrative image)
