Description
What kind of wine it is
The Rosso di Montalcino from Casanova di Neri is a still red wine that enhances the essence of Sangiovese grown in Tuscany. Within the Rosso di Montalcino denomination, this label stands out for its clear ruby red colour, enriched by elegant garnet reflections. On the nose, it reveals a floral profile of geranium and wild roses, followed by notes of red plum and green tobacco. On the palate, it expresses a fruity and enveloping structure, supported by vibrant acidity, polished tannins and a characteristic almond-like finish of remarkable persistence.
Where it comes from
The grapes come from select Tuscan vineyards, with particular reference to the Le Chetine vineyard, located in the heart of the Sienese territory. This terroir benefits from an ideal microclimate that ensures optimal ripening of the bunches. The deep connection with the Montalcino area gives the wine a distinct territorial character, able to harmonise the minerality of the soil with an intense aromatic richness, faithfully reflecting the purity and authenticity of its landscape of origin.
How it is produced
The production process begins with a careful manual harvest carried out in October, followed by meticulous selection of the berries. In the cellar, gravity flow preserves the integrity of the must, which ferments spontaneously thanks to the action of only indigenous yeasts in truncated conical steel vats at a controlled temperature. During maceration, frequent punch-downs encourage a delicate aromatic extraction. Once malolactic fermentation is complete, the wine matures in oak barrels for a period between fifteen and seventeen months, thus achieving impeccable balance.
History and Curiosities
