Casanova di Neri Winemaker Dinner

Join us for a winemaker dinner with Gianlorenzo Neri from Casanova di Neri and Master Sommelier George Miliotes. Enjoy a five course dinner alongside pairings from this famed Montalcino producer in Italy. This legendary winery was founded in 1971 by Giovanni Neri when he purchased the Casanova di Neri estate in eastern Montalcino. In the early 1990s, his son Giacomo Neri, took over vineyard management and vinification duties. By that time, the family had already expanded its properties, including the purchase of what is today one of the most renowned vineyards in the Brunello di Montalcino appellation, Cerretalto.

Years of hard work and devotion paid off both in 2006 when the Casanova di Neri 2001 Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova was named “Wine of the Year” in Wine Spectator’s “Top Hundred Wines of the Year”, and in 2007 when the 2001 Brunello di Montalcino Cerretalto was awarded 100 points by the magazine.

It was only the beginning of a string of perfect scores that the Neri family would receive from both Wine Spectator and Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate. The Neri Family often attributes its success to Montalcino’s unique terroir and microclimates, which are ideal for the production of wines with great depth, longevity, and distinct character.

Join Gianlorenzo Neri and George on Tuesday, May 28 for this special event in our barrel and library room!
