The Legendary Winery Casanova di Neri

Casanova di Neri was founded in 1971 by Giovanni Neri, one of the first to recognize the unique potential of Montalcino. Today, his son Giacomo leads the estate with the same vision and dedication. The property covers 500 hectares, of which 63 hectares are vineyards spread across seven terroirs with diverse soils and microclimates.

The grapes are harvested entirely by hand and strictly selected both before and after destemming. Fermentation takes place in conical, temperature-controlled tanks, followed by a 23-day maceration. The wine then matures for 43 months in carefully chosen wooden barrels — a combination of tradition and precision that ensures the purest expression of Sangiovese.

Vintage 2020 – Balance and Character

The 2020 vintage experienced a mild winter and a normal spring, with ideal conditions for flowering and fruit set. The summer was warm and sunny without extreme heat, allowing the grapes to ripen evenly and slowly. Harvest took place in October, yielding wines of exceptional balance, finesse, and length.

The Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino 2020 combines classic Tuscan strength with modern precision — a wine with great ageing potential and a captivating elegance that already shines in the glass.
