About the company
During the Cretaceous period, when almost all of today's Italy lay beneath the seabed, seismic geological shifts began that eventually resulted in the rich mix of soils and rocks found in Casanova di Neri's seven vineyards. Over the following millennia, it shaped the hills of Montalcino and the basins of the Ombrone and Orcia rivers that surround it, creating a soil like the crumbly clay shale known as galestro, on which the Sangiovese grape reaches its best potential. The soil here is also rich in special minerals, such as the precious onyx, which was found in the Pietradonice vineyard on the site of a former quarry. The winery owns 7 wonderful vineyards: Fiesole, Cerretalto, Collalli, Podernuovo, Pietradonice, Giovanni Neri and Cetine.
