Casanova di Neri
The Casanova di Neri farm was founded in 1971 by Giovanni Neri, who since 1991 has given his son Giacomo his place in the management of the estate. The Casanova company of the Neri family - this is the meaning of the company name - has a history healthier skin , yet it has already managed to conquer the highest peaks of world awards with its products of excellence: in 2006 the Brunello di Montalcino docg Tenuta Nuova 2001 reached the first place in the classification of the best wines in the world drawn up by the Wine Spectator.
The first vineyard acquired was that of Cerretalto, in honor of which a homonymous Brunello was produced, which ages more than thirty months in wood and refines another thirty months in the bottle. In this vineyard a Sangiovese different from the others is grown, characterized by smaller and sparse bunches. A mass selection was carried out on this type of Sangiovese which led to the birth of the Tenuta Nuova wine.
