Casanova di NeriCasanova di Neri
History
Casanova di Neri was founded in 1971 by Giovanni Neri with the vision of crafting exceptional wines in Montalcino. His son, Giacomo Neri, took over in the 1990s and brought international acclaim to the estate. The turning point came when their Tenuta Nuova 2001 received a perfect 100-point score from Wine Spectator, establishing the winery as one of Italy’s top Brunello producers.
