The grapes are harvested manually in mid-September. After harvesting, the grapes are fermented for a period of 19 days. The further maturation of this wine took place during a period of 42 months in Slavonian oak barrels of 40 and 77 hl, after which the further maturation in the bottle was continued for at least another year.

This classic Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino from the great year 2017 has beautiful aromas of raspberry, tar, hazelnut, dried fig, asphalt and some broken chalk. The wine is streamlined and compact in mouthfeel, giving us an accessible Brunello from a leading estate in Montalcino. It is best to open these bottles a few hours before serving him in his youthful years. The wine then opens gently and becomes so much more beautiful.
