Description
What kind of wine it is
This still red wine expresses the most authentic characteristics of Sangiovese, a grape variety carefully cultivated by Casanova di Neri. Its intense and vibrant red colour is followed by a deep aromatic profile, centred on clear notes of cherry and blueberry. On the palate, it is round and generous, offering an enveloping sip supported by soft and velvety tannins, which lead the tasting towards a persistent and balanced finish.
Where it comes from
The grapes are grown in Montalcino and give rise to a faithful expression of Rosso di Montalcino. Casanova di Neri manages its vineyards with meticulous attention to the balance of the vines, enhancing the unique terroir of Tuscany. The ideal soil and climate conditions allow for optimal ripening, resulting in a measured tannic structure and a pronounced continuity of flavour that reflect the strong connection with the natural environment.
How it is produced
The production process begins with manual harvesting, followed by bunch selection and optical sorting of the berries. The spontaneous fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts in truncated conical oak vats at a controlled temperature, accompanied by maceration with punch-downs and pump-overs. Subsequently, the wine matures for fifteen months in oak barrels, developing a complex structure. To enhance its qualities, a brief decanting is recommended before serving, ideal when paired with game and mature cheeses.
