Casanova di Neri Giovanni Neri Rosso di Montalcino is produced by Casanova di Neri, a celebrated winery in the Montalcino subregion in southern Tuscany, Italy. The wine is made from Sangiovese grapes grown in the vineyards surrounding the hill-top town of Montalcino, which benefit from the region's warm microclimate. The winemaking process involves a shorter aging in oak barrels, compared to Brunello di Montalcino to produce a fresher, earlier drinking style of wine. The resulting wine is a classic expression of Rosso di Montalcino, with a rich ruby color, intense aromas of baked red fruit and spices, and an ample, well-structured palate with a long, elegant finish.
