Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2018

Here is the house's first produced wine, Casanova di Neri's signature wine.

The grapes for this wine come from the fields around the cellar in the eastern part of Montalcino. These are Fiesole at an altitude of 350-380 meters and Podernuovo at an altitude of 420-490 meters. The underground is Galestro in both places.

After harvesting in the first week of October 2018, the optically sorted grapes have spontaneously fermented under temperature control for 25 days.

The wine has subsequently matured for 42 months in botti of 60 - 102 hl, followed by 6 months of bottle aging.

In the nose you are met by a red berry, and in the mouth you find a very classically elegant Sangiovese expression. Red fruits, sweet tannins and fantastic balance. Since the first vintage (1977), the wine has shown great shelf life, and even the first vintages of the wine have proven to be completely fresh when tasted.

2018 was a year of very cold winter followed by a rainy spring. The summer was without extreme heat and ripening of the grapes took place very slowly and calmly. So, all in all, a year that is expected to produce elegant and very durable wines.
