Casanova di Neri, Rosso di Montalcino Giovanni Neri 2023

Casanova di Neri’s Rosso di Montalcino Giovanni Neri 2023 offers an approachable expression of Sangiovese from one of Tuscany’s most celebrated wine regions. Made with the same care and vineyard focus applied to the estate’s Brunello wines, it combines vibrant cherry fruit, elegant tannins and an impressively long finish—delivering the character of Montalcino without requiring years of cellaring.

Tasting Notes
Bright ruby red in appearance, the wine opens with a fresh, fruit-driven bouquet led by ripe cherries and other red-fruit aromas. On the palate, it is supple and balanced, with refined tannins, lively freshness and a smooth, elegant texture. The finish is long to very long, leaving a lingering impression of red fruit and gentle spice. It is enjoyable now, but its structure and careful maturation mean it can also develop further over the next several years.

Production
Produced from dedicated vineyards in Montalcino, where the warm Mediterranean climate and hillside terroir provide ideal conditions for expressive Sangiovese, the grapes receive the same attention and precision as those destined for Brunello. Harvest and grape selection are carried out by hand, both before and after destemming. Fermentation takes place naturally, without cultured yeast, in an open, cone-shaped, temperature-controlled vessel, followed by 18 days of maceration and fermentation. The wine then matures on wood for a further 12–18 months before release.

Food & Serving
A versatile partner for Tuscan-inspired dishes, this Rosso di Montalcino pairs beautifully with pasta featuring tomato or meat sauces, wild boar ragù, grilled pork, roasted poultry, sausages and medium-aged cheeses. Serve slightly below room temperature, around 16–18°C. Decanting is not essential when enjoyed young, though 30–45 minutes in a decanter can help the wine open and soften its tannins.
