Often described as a “young Brunello”, it combines fragrant red-fruit character with lively acidity, polished tannins and the unmistakable almond-like finish associated with the estate’s refined style. A fresh and expressive introduction to the Montalcino appellation, it is approachable now while offering rewarding short-term cellaring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine displays a clear ruby-red colour with elegant garnet nuances. Its aromatic profile is floral and inviting, revealing geranium and wild rose alongside red plum, subtle green tobacco and delicate earthy tones.\n\nOn the palate, it is fruity, supple and enveloping, supported by bright acidity and finely polished tannins. The finish is distinctive and persistent, with a gently almond-like character. Enjoyable in its youth for its freshness and fragrance, it should develop additional savoury complexity over the next few years when properly stored.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Sangiovese grapes are sourced from selected vineyards around Montalcino, including the renowned Le Chetine vineyard near Siena. The area’s favourable microclimate encourages even ripening while preserving the variety’s natural freshness and aromatic detail. Grapes are hand-harvested in October and carefully sorted before being transferred to the winery. Gravity-fed handling helps preserve the integrity of the must, while spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts takes place in temperature-controlled, conical-bottom stainless-steel tanks. Gentle, frequent cap management encourages balanced extraction, followed by malolactic fermentation and approximately 15–17 months of maturation in oak barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe at approximately 16–18°C, allowing the wine to open gradually in the glass. Decanting is not essential for the 2024 vintage, although 30–45 minutes in a decanter can help release its floral and fruity aromas. Its lively structure makes it a natural match for Tuscan dishes, pasta with tomato-based sauces, wild mushroom risotto, grilled pork, roast poultry, veal and medium-aged cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFounded by Giovanni Neri in 1978, Casanova di Neri has become one of the most respected names in Montalcino. The estate is recognised for producing expressive Brunello and Rosso di Montalcino wines that combine meticulous vineyard work with a clear sense of place.
