Casanova di Neri Rosso di Montalcino Giovanni Neri DOC 2022

A new wine, dedicated to the creator of Casanova di Neri, Giacomo's father, Giovanni Neri.

The grapes come from a fantastic field in the Sesta area between S. Angelo in Colle and Castelnuovo dell'Abate. It was pure luck that the family was allowed to buy this field. It happened exclusively because the previous owner only wanted to sell to a Montalcino family that he knew came from the area, lived there, and would continue to live there. The field is not large and it is a Brunello certified field, and in the future a top Brunello will be produced from here.

The field is 7 ha., and the more than 50-year-old canes are planted at a height of 390 metres. The subsoil consists of many stones and Galestro.

Harvested September 2022.
Manual selection of the grapes first and - after destemming - with an optical selector. Spontaneous fermentation for 18 days in stainless steel and at a controlled temperature. After this, the wine has been aged for 13 months in used tonneux, respectively 500 liters and 800 litres.

The aroma shows notes of cherry, raspberry, currant and rose petals. Hugely tasty and balanced. The tannins are soft and very fine, the finish is juicy and velvety.

Organic production, but without certification.
