In Montalcino viticulture has ancient origins, which date back to the Etruscan civilization, and the first written records of this estate date back to 814, when a written document of the Holy Roman Empire certifies the ownership of the estate to the Abbot of Sant'Antimo. The current history of the Casanova di Neri winery was born in 1971 from the dream of Giovanni Neri, who abandoned his business as a grain merchant in Montevarchi to follow his passion for wine. Good luck awaits him in Montalcino, where the Casanova farm is for sale, a 200-hectare estate, whose red wine represents a marginal part of the business and is sold in bulk. A unique opportunity that Giovanni did not miss, immediately realizing the great potential of the territory for the creation of long-lived and deep wines and immediately starting to plant new Sangiovese vines. The property is enriched with new vineyards such as Cerretalto, Cetine (which gives life to the famous Tenute Nuove) and Podernuovo.
