Casanova di Neri – icon of Montalcino

The story began in 1971, when Giovanni Neri recognized the great potential of Montalcino. Since 1991, his son Giacomo has led the estate with the same passion. Today, the estate comprises 500 hectares, of which 63 hectares are vineyards distributed across seven unique terroirs.

This diversity of soils, microclimates, and altitudes forms the basis for wines that combine power and elegance. Casanova di Neri is known for respect for nature, innovation, and uncompromising quality.

The grapes for the Rosso di Montalcino are harvested by hand in October. Strict selection takes place before and after destemming. Fermentation proceeds naturally in temperature-controlled conical tanks. Maceration lasts 18 days, with gentle extraction for maximum aromaticity. This is followed by aging in wood for 12 to 18 months before the wine reaches the market.

Vintage 2023 – character and balance

The year 2023 brought a relatively mild winter and a cool spring, which slowed growth. May and June brought abundant rain, allowing the vineyards to build up rich water reserves. The summer was warm and dry, but without extreme heat peaks – perfect for a slow and balanced ripening of the Sangiovese.

The harvest began in the third week of September, under ideal conditions. The result is a Rosso di Montalcino that beautifully unites freshness, structure, and fruitiness. A wine that displays the essence of Sangiovese: immediately enjoyable, yet with enough depth to surprise for years to come.
