This is an amazing local shop
Having known Giacomo Neri and his family for over 25 years, their winery is one of the “must see” visits in Montalcino, so you can experience their wines, their style, and most importantly their passion for Sangiovese. – Brian Pasch
The wine cellar, surrounded by a nature of great beauty, is totally integrated within a hillside, and allows their team to work by gravity, guaranteeing natural and constant humidity and temperature. Their production process takes place with absolute respect of the grapes’ quality, insuring the least possible impact on the natural origin of the wines. In the two spacious and charming “bottaie” (aging cellars) the wines age slowly in wooden casks which define and harmoniously fix their perfumes and aromas.
Their vineyards’ great quality, the rigorous grape-growing, the utmost care of the vines, passion and know-how, have led to the production of unique wines, of great character, and with a well-defined style, never conditioned by passing fashion trends. The combination of these elements has produced, consistently throughout the years of their history, exceptionally important accolades from the leading international and national opinion leaders.
Casanova di Neri wines are consistently purchased in our home because of their quality and value. An additional bonus: their wines age magnificently and if you are patient, a wine collector can experience the true expression of the sangiovese grosso grape which is grown in Montalcino.
Offering wines at different price points, each bottle will bring pleasure when paired with some local pecorino cheeses or with your full meal. I recommend that their high end Brunello wines be aged for at least 10 years, if you can wait. For daily drinking their Rosso di Montalcino wines are perfect as well as their white label Brunello di Montalcino. As with all Brunello di Montalcino wines, opening the bottle an hour before drinking is recommended.
If you are interested in visiting Casanova di Neri, I would recommend that you make an appointment. They have a tasting room where you can come an taste their wines, but if you want a full tour of their facilities, a reservation is required.
