Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino
カサノヴァ・ディ・ネリ ブルネッロ・ディ・モンタルチーノ
Casanova di Neri
Sangiovese Grosso
About this wine
Produced since 1978, this is Casanova di Neri's classic multi-vineyard Brunello, blending Sangiovese Grosso from seven estate vineyards around Montalcino. Fermented in steel tanks with roughly 20 days of skin maceration, it is aged for over three years in a combination of large Slavonian oak casks and French oak tonneaux before further bottle refinement. It offers the elegance and structure that established the Neri house style, and remains the entry point into the estate's range of single-vineyard Brunellos.
The most accessible way to experience the Casanova di Neri house style before stepping up to Tenuta Nuova or Cerretalto.

カサノヴァ・ディ・ネリ ブルネッロ・ディ・モンタルチーノ チェッレタルト
Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino Cerretalto
RedSangiovese Grosso
Casanova di Neri's flagship single-vineyard Brunello, sourced from the historic Cerretalto vineyard — a 4-hectare site at 300-350m altitude on a steep slope in a natural amphitheater above the Asso River, east of Montalcino. The cool site and significant day-to-night temperature swings give slow, late ripening and exceptional aromatic complexity. Cerretalto is only bottled in vintages the estate considers truly exceptional, and has repeatedly earned scores of 98-100 points from major critics, including recognition as Wine Spectator's Wine of the Year. It represents the pinnacle of the Neri range alongside Tenuta Nuova.

Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova
RedSangiovese Grosso
Tenuta Nuova is a flagship expression from Casanova di Neri, first produced in 1993 from the Le Cetine vineyard in the warm southern sector of Montalcino near Castelnuovo dell'Abate. Unlike the traditional high-altitude sites, these lower-altitude plots on galesto marl soils benefit from unique mineral composition and sun exposure, resulting in a wine of extraordinary power, depth, and elegance. Fermented spontaneously without added yeasts in conical steel vats for 24 days, then aged approximately 30 months in a combination of large wooden casks and French oak tonneaux, followed by at least 12 months of bottle aging. Consistently achieving top critical acclaim, including a perfect 100-point score from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate for the 2010 vintage, and Wine Spectator Wine of the Year for the 2001 vintage, it represents the pinnacle of modern Brunello production.

Casanova di Neri Pietradonice
RedCabernet Sauvignon
Casanova di Neri's entry into the Super Tuscan category, Pietradonice is made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grown in a southeastern Montalcino vineyard, departing from the estate's usual Sangiovese focus. Aged in French oak barriques (roughly half new), it shows blackcurrant, spice, and dark chocolate notes with firm, structured tannins that demonstrate how well this international variety can perform on Montalcino soils, built for extended cellaring in the style of top Bordeaux.
カサノヴァ・ディ・ネリ ロッソ・ディ・モンタルチーノ
Casanova di Neri Rosso di Montalcino
RedSangiovese
First released in 1982, Rosso di Montalcino is Casanova di Neri's younger sibling to its Brunello wines, made from 100% Sangiovese grown on the same estate vineyards but selected for earlier-drinking fruit and released after a shorter aging cycle. It offers ripe red fruit, herbs, and gentle spice, with about 12 months in oak, making it a more immediate expression of the Neri vineyards.
