Tenuta Oliveto Brunello Di Montalcino Tinto

Description

Founded in 1971 by Giovanni Neri, who with great vision and passion recognised the enormous potential of wine in Montalcino, he passed the estate 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 expanded 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 unlike any other, with small, well‑spaced bunches. From this, a selective variety was cultivated and used in other plots, particularly at Tenuta Nuova. The acquisition of Cerretalto was followed by Le Cetine, Pietradonice and later Podernovo, all to research the best soils and exposures to create distinctive, recognisable wines. Today the property spans about 500 hectares, of which 63 are vineyards, 20 olive groves, with the remainder fallow arable land and forest. (Illustrative image only)
