Rosso di Montalcino offers Casanova di Neri's unique style in a wine with structure and elegance, yet easy to drink and with a strong connection to the terroir. For us, Rosso di Montalcino is a wine of primary importance. For its production, we use grapes from dedicated vineyards that receive the same attention and care we devote to those destined for the production of Brunello. The uniqueness of the terroir is reflected in the wine, which expresses all the passion for the land and the vineyard and the meticulous work resulting from long, multi-generational experience. The strong recognizability of this wine is also due to our mass selection of Sangiovese.

The finish is silky and enveloping.
VINTAGE NOTES
The 2023 vintage began with a relatively mild winter, with below-average rainfall. Spring brought a slightly earlier start to the vegetative growth, but the subsequent return of low temperatures moderated the vines' development. May and June were characterized by abundant rainfall, allowing the accumulation of significant water reserves and promoting regular growth. The summer months were hot and dry, without reaching extreme peaks. Therefore, grape ripening was slow and steady. The harvest began in the third week of September.

HARVEST
Hand-picked during the first ten days of September.
