Giovanni Neri Rosso di Montalcino 2020 (Casanova Di Neri)

Drink now or cellar for up to 10 years. No need to decant it. Founded in Montalcino in 1971, the Casanova di Neri winery now has about 63 hectares of land mainly cultivated with Sangiovese Grosso, the most important grape variety in the area, together with smaller quantities of other red and white grapes. Thanks to the impeccable work in the vineyard and cellar that enhances the very high quality of the grapes, their wines have received various awards and are today known and loved all over the world. Dedicated to the founder of the company Giovanni Neri, Rosso di Montalcino Casanova di Neri is produced with grapes that receive the same care and attention as those reserved for the production of Brunello. The selection of the bunches is manual and the fermentation is spontaneous without the use of added yeasts in temperature-controlled oak vats for 18 days. Subsequently the wine is aged for 13 months in large casks; the result is a Sangiovese of great complexity and longevity. The wine comes with a light and pale ruby red color. The nose is intense and quite complex, with elegant notes of cherries in alcohol, tobacco, hay and the typical Sangiovese violet perfume. On the palate, it is dry, warm, quite soft, fresh, tannic and delicately savory. This is a wine of good drinkability and excellent balance, which is the full expression of the uniqueness of its terroir. It pairs well with pasta Bolognese and grilled red meats.
