Casanova di Neri, Brunello di Montalcino 2017

Casanova di Neri’s Brunello di Montalcino 2017 is the estate’s distinguished white-label expression, showcasing the elegance and individuality of Sangiovese from one of Tuscany’s most celebrated appellations. Produced with the same proud tradition followed by the estate since 1978, it combines vibrant fruit, polished tannins and impressive length with the capacity to develop beautifully over time.

Tasting Notes
The wine is bright, clear red in colour, with an intense bouquet of fresh, youthful red fruits. On the palate, lively acidity is finely balanced by a creamy, silky texture, while precise, exceptionally fine-grained tannins provide structure without heaviness. The finish is remarkably long, leaving a lingering impression of red fruit and refined savoury detail. Already expressive in its youth, the 2017 vintage also has the structure and balance to reward cellaring. It should gain further complexity over the next decade or more when stored in a cool, dark environment.

Production
Made from the estate’s distinctive Sangiovese, the grapes are carefully selected by hand both before and after destemming. Fermentation takes place naturally, without the addition of cultured yeast, in an open, temperature-controlled conical vessel, with maceration and fermentation lasting 23 days. The wine then matures for a further 43 months in wood before release, allowing its fruit, acidity and tannins to integrate.

Food & Serving
This Brunello is an excellent match for Tuscan-inspired dishes such as wild boar ragù, pappardelle with rich meat sauces, roasted lamb and grilled or braised beef. It also pairs well with aged Pecorino and other mature hard cheeses. Serve at approximately 18°C, ideally after allowing the bottle to breathe; decanting for 1–2 hours is recommended when enjoying it young, while older bottles may benefit from careful decanting mainly to remove any sediment.

Producer
Founded in 1978, Casanova di Neri has built a strong reputation in Montalcino through its focused work with Sangiovese and its deep connection to the land. The estate’s wines are known for combining regional character with elegance, finesse and precision. Its white-label Brunello remains a core expression of the producer’s philosophy, reflecting a long-standing commitment to careful grape selection, natural fermentation and extended maturation.
