CASANOVA DI NERI
Despite being a relative newcomer (founded in 1971), Casanova di Neri
has become one of the most-respected wineries of Montalcino. It has
a fairly modern approach in terms of wine making resulting in wines
with plenty of lush fruit. Their wine continuously receives high ratings
from renowned critics throughout the world. In 2006 for example, the
Wine Spectator named their Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova 2001
the world’s top wine, calling it “one of the best examples of the recent
winemaking renaissance in Tuscany”.

LUCE
Luce della Vite is owned by Marchesi de’ Frescobaldi and the progressive
Mondavi family from Napa Valley. Luce was the first wine ever created in
Montalcino by blending Sangiovese and Merlot grapes. The roundness and
suppleness of the Merlot combines well with the structure and elegance
of Sangiovese. They also produce a traditional Brunello di Montalcino
wine called Luce Brunello, made with 100% Sangiovese grapes grown
around the slopes of Montalcino. Wines here must be aged for five years,
with at least 2 years in barrel and display typical Tuscan character.
