In 1971, Giovanni Neri bought the Podere Casanova to the east of Montalcino. He was 48 years old, a grain merchant from Montevarchi, and had a single dream: to make a great Italian red wine. The Brunello DOC at the time comprised barely thirty producers, the area was rough and undeveloped. Giovanni Neri saw what others had not yet seen. He lived long enough to introduce his son Giacomo to the work – but not long enough to see what became of that first podere. Giacomo and his sons Gianlorenzo and Giovanni saw it. On the fiftieth anniversary of the estate, they dedicated a wine to the founder that bears his name.

The Giovanni Neri Rosso di Montalcino comes mainly from a single vineyard – 45-year-old vines, outstanding exposure, soils of exceptional quality. 100% Sangiovese, Massale selection from the estate stock. Hand-picked, optical sorter, spontaneous fermentation in conical steel tanks, 18 days of maceration, without added yeasts. The same precision that the estate applies to its Brunelli – for a wine worthy of the name.

Bright, clear ruby red colour. Bouquet of wild strawberries, cherries in alcohol, violets – expressive, fragrant, with a tension that heralds finesse and elegance. Silky on the palate, with a mature structure and a broad, balanced final. A Rosso that knows whose name it bears. SUPERIORE.DE
