Casanova Di Neri Brunello Di Montalcino cerretalto was named wine of the year by Wine Spectator magazine in 2006. Following the same standards and extrodinary quality of grape they have produced the Rosso Di Montalcino. Rosso di Montalcino is aged in wood for 12 to 15 months. This wine is the proof that Sangiovese in Montalcino can produce quality wines to be drunk immediately.
Casanova di Neri was established in 1971 when Giovanni Neri acquired a large estate within Montalcino. Over the years their continuing goal has been the search for land believed to be optimal for growing high quality grapes. There are now 120 acres of vineyards divided amongst four distinct sites. Improved quality in the vineyards has led to more attention in the winery, from vinification to the careful selection of casks for aging but always with the maximum respect for tradition. Today the property is operated and wines made by Giacomo Neri, who states, "Our greatest pride is our vineyards: their high quality and their history."
