The estate was founded in 1971 by Giovanni Neri, a grain and seed merchant from Monteverchi who, fascinated by the character that Sangiovese shows in Montalcino, decided to undertake this adventure with the aim of producing a great red wine. He thus identified Podere Casanova, a 200-hectare property which, due to pedological, altimetric and microclimatic characteristics, showed exceptional qualitative potential. In 1991, upon Giovanni's death, his son Giacomo took the reins of the winery, which he now leads alongside his sons Giovanni and Gianlorenzo through an innovative spirit, a principle that has always guided the family's production philosophy.

The vineyards owned by the Casanova di Neri winery are distributed over almost 80 hectares, located in various sub-areas of the Brunello di Montalcino area. Obviously, Sangiovese Grosso represents the core of the varietal platform, reproduced through a mass selection obtained from the Cerretalto vineyard.
