AboutCasanova di Neri
Giovanni Neri founded Casanova di Neri in 1971 after buying Podere Casanova on Montalcino’s eastern side and recognizing its potential for Sangiovese. The estate bottled its first Rosso in 1977 and produced its first Brunello the following year, establishing the White Label that remains part of the house today. Giacomo Neri joined full time in 1986 and assumed leadership in 1991; Giovanni, Gianlorenzo and Marianna have since brought a third generation into the family business.
Seven vineyards across the Montalcino appellation give the estate a broad palette of altitudes, exposures, soils and microclimates. At the hillside cellar, fruit is selected by hand and optical sorting before gravity carries it onward to fermentation.
Casanova di Neri 2010 Brunello di Montalcino
Italian Red
Ripe cherry and raspberry mingle with dark fruit, rosemary and a touch of liquorice. This Sangiovese has a generous, supple palate, with fine tannins and lively acidity keeping its richness in balance. Earthy spice, tobacco and leather add a savoury dimension to the long finish, while the fruit remains at the centre.
Casanova di Neri 2004 Tenuta Nuova Brunello di Montalcino
Italian Red
Dried flowers, tobacco and earthy notes open into dark berries and a savoury hint of soy. The palate is rich and silky, with lively acidity bringing energy to the ripe red fruit. Fine tannins remain present without overwhelming the wine, and a tart berry and citrus lift gives the long finish an appealing freshness.
Casanova di Neri 1997 Cerretalto Brunello di Montalcino
Italian Red
Ripe blackberry and currant meet earthy mushroom, toasted oak and a savoury mineral note. The 1997 Cerretalto is full-bodied and concentrated, with a velvety texture and substantial, ripe tannins. Its rich fruit is balanced by a firm backbone and a persistent finish, giving this single-vineyard Brunello a powerful yet carefully defined character.
Casanova di Neri 2007 Brunello di Montalcino
Italian Red
Dark cherry and blackberry are layered with chocolate, warm spice, tobacco and leather. This is a generous, full-bodied Brunello, with firm tannins giving shape to its abundant fruit. Floral notes and a touch of liquorice add detail, while bright acidity keeps the rich palate lively and carries the flavours through a long, polished finish.
Casanova di Neri 2020 Giovanni Neri Rosso di Montalcino
Italian Red
Bright red colour accompanies strawberry, sour cherry and other red berries. The palate is graceful and balanced, with young tannins, acidity and silkiness. Sangiovese comes mainly from a Sesta-area vineyard with vines nearly fifty years old. Grapes are harvested by hand in September, fermented spontaneously without added yeast and macerated for eighteen days in temperature-controlled oak vats. Maturation lasts fifteen months in tonneaux.

Maceration lasts twenty-five days. Oak maturation lasts forty-three months, followed by six months in bottle. Small red fruits, spice and chocolate accompany ripe tannins and bright acidity.
