Casanova di Neri, Toscana Pietradonice 2022

Casanova di Neri’s Pietradonice is a powerful yet refined Cabernet Sauvignon from the hills south-east of Montalcino. First produced in 2000, it reflects the estate’s ambition to show how this international variety can express the character of Tuscan terroir, combining depth, freshness and impressive longevity.

Tasting Notes
The 2022 Pietradonice has a deep, intense ruby-red colour. Its aromatic profile is centred on ripe red fruit, complemented by hints of spice and subtle savoury complexity. On the palate, it is both concentrated and remarkably elegant, with Cabernet Sauvignon’s characteristic structure balanced by vibrant acidity and firm, well-integrated tannins. The finish is long and persistent, suggesting excellent ageing potential. With careful cellaring, the wine should develop additional layers of complexity over many years.

Production
The grapes are grown in the area south-east of Montalcino, where the rich, stony soils—reflected in the name Pietradonice—help shape the wine’s mineral character and structure. Bunches are carefully selected by hand both before and after destemming. Fermentation takes place naturally, without the addition of cultured yeast, in an open, cone-shaped, temperature-controlled vessel. Maceration and fermentation last approximately 18 days, followed by 18 months of maturation before release.

Food & Serving
Its combination of power, acidity and tannin makes Pietradonice an excellent match for grilled or roasted red meat, Florentine-style steak, braised beef, game and richly flavoured aged cheeses. Serve at approximately 16–18°C. Decant for one to two hours when drinking the wine young to allow its aromas and texture to open; older bottles should be decanted carefully, primarily to remove any sediment.

Founded in 1977 by Giovanni Neri, Casanova di Neri has become one of Montalcino’s most respected estates, known for expressive, terroir-focused wines and meticulous work in both vineyard and cellar.
