2021 CASANOVA DI NERI BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO GIOVANNI NERI

Brunello Giovanni Neri expresses our tradition and winemaking philosophy, and embraces the values of sustainability, and the territory’s uniqueness. After fifty years from the purchase of the first vineyard, Giacomo, Giovanni and Gianlorenzo named this wine as Casanova di Neri’s founder. A remarkable wine, a pure Sangiovese’s expression born out of an ancient, untamed vineyard with half-century old vines spread over a great winegrowing terroir. While bringing together tradition and innovation is anything but an easy task, the Giovanni Neri manages that with an unmistakable elegance.

Deep, intense red, the nose releases hints of small dark berries followed by blood orange, mint, and a floral touch. The palate is intense and balanced, refined and elegant. The greatness of the 2021 vintage is evident in the almost perfect maturity of the tannins and the present but completely integrated acidity, expressing itself with a vibrant and chiseled finish.

2021 winter was marked by mild temperatures and average rainfall. The germination took place between the last week of March and the first of April. Spring continued with a return of cold which slowed the development of vegetation. May and June were hot and dry and they allowed the plants to catch up. The ripening continued regularly and the harvest began in the second week of September.
