Giovanni Neri Brunello Di Montalcino DOCG - Casanova di Neri

The Giovanni Neri Brunello Di Montalcino DOCG shows an intense ruby red color that unfolds beautifully in the glass. This profound hue reflects the ripe grapes grown in the sun-soaked hills of Tuscany. On the nose, complex aromas of Morello cherries, plums, and a hint of dried herbs emerge. The aroma is underpinned by fine notes of wood and vanilla, which have matured through aging in exquisite oak barrels. On the palate, the wine presents itself full-bodied with a harmonious structure, accompanied by elegant tannins. Notes of chocolate and spices complement the flavor profile, adding fine depth. The finish is long and smooth, making this Brunello a special experience.

Vinification of the Giovanni Neri Brunello Di Montalcino DOCG by Casanova di Neri

The vinification of the Giovanni Neri Brunello Di Montalcino DOCG begins with a careful selection of Sangiovese grapes, which are cultivated in the best sites of Montalcino with optimal exposure. The grapes are hand-picked to harvest only the finest fruits. The harvest usually takes place between late September and early October to ensure full ripeness and expression.

After harvesting, the grapes undergo gentle pressing. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and fruity aromas. The maceration lasts several weeks, which is significant for the full-bodied structure of the wine. The wine is then transferred to new and used oak barrels, where it ages for at least two years. This is done to optimally develop the fine vanilla and toast notes. The aging occurs under optimal conditions to intensify the aromas and harmonize the tannins. Before bottling, the wine is only minimally filtered, thus maintaining its natural quality.
