Giovanni Neri Brunello di Montalcino is not just a label—it’s a tribute to the man who founded one of Tuscany’s most celebrated estates. First released in 2018, the wine honors Giovanni Neri’s pioneering spirit, marking a turning point in Casanova di Neri’s journey. It blends fruit from the estate’s top vineyards, including the historic Cerretalto, resulting in a Brunello that speaks of both place and purpose. 

This wine is a study in balance and power. Rich notes of black cherry, dried rose, balsamic herbs, and graphite unfold slowly, revealing layer after layer. The palate is dense and structured, but never heavy—thanks to meticulous winemaking and long aging in large oak casks that respect the purity of the fruit. 

Unlike the estate’s single-vineyard icons, Giovanni Neri Brunello is a more panoramic expression of Montalcino, weaving together different parcels and microclimates. It’s both a celebration of the land and a heartfelt nod to legacy. 

Crafted to age for decades but already captivating in youth, this wine captures everything Casanova di Neri stands for: excellence, character, and continuity. For those seeking a meaningful Brunello experience, Giovanni Neri offers history in a glass—and a future worth following.
