Casanova di Neri

State/Country, Region, Place: Italy, Tuscany, Montalcino (SI)

Red, dry, still wine
Grape Varieties: 100% Sangioveset
Aging: 18 months large oak casks and tonneaux (500l)

Rosso di Montalcino grapes are grown in the Le Cetine vineyard, located south south-east of Montalcino on a bucolic hillside. Spending even longer in oak – a good 12 months longer than the usual – Rosso di Montalcino Casanova di Neri is with more Brunello like characteristics and we like to call it a “Baby Brunello”.
It is a wine of power yet finesse, with deep red fruit character, tobacco and spice flavors. Drinkable immediately, but can be kept for the long haul, 10 years easily!!
