Casanova di Neri was founded in 1971. It is now one of Montalcino’s, and indeed Italy’s, most admired producers. The family-owned and run estate is led by Giacomo Neri. The estate was catapulted into the limelight in 2006 when Wine Spectator named their Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova 2001 the World’s #1 Wine, calling it “one of the best examples of the recent winemaking renaissance in Tuscany”.

Casanova di Neri has only 63 hectares of vines, divided into seven vineyards, of which Cerretalto is one. Casanova di Neri is famous for its range of opulent and powerful Brunellos. But it is especially prized for its two exclusive and small production special cuvées: Tenuta Nuova and Cerretalto. Both these wines are 100% Sangiovese Grosso and hence are Brunello di Montalcino (and not ‘Super Tuscans). Both wines are aged in oak for 36 months (and then in bottle for a further 12 for Tenuta Nuova, and 24 for Cerretalto).

In his Top 100 Wines of 2019, James Suckling voted the 100 point Renieri Brunello di Montalcino 2015 #2 position.

We are over the moon to be able to offer you the chance to try this gem at a special congratulatory price!

The Renieri estate is widely acknowledged to be one of Brunello di Montalcino’s highest quality producers. Situated on the southern part of Montalcino on high altitude slopes, the soil here is diverse and iron-rich – not common in Montalcino. Vines are planted densely to keep yields extremely low. This is a recipe for wines which have a unique character. Owner and Winemaker Marco Bacci puts meticulous work into his vineyards to produce the best possible Sangiovese fruit.

The 2015 vintage in Brunello will be celebrated in decades to come. Suckling called it a “fairy tale vintage” and wrote that “The 2015 vintage is a historical year for Brunello di Montalcino that nobody should miss. The wines show impressive precision of vivid fruit, fine tannins and freshness in acidity despite their ripeness and richness which makes them some of the most exciting in years.”

An esteemed producer and a fantastic year combine to produce an unmissable wine, which will age for decades.
