Ep. 969 Giacomo Neri Pt. 1 | On The Road Edition

Welcome to episode 969, another installment of 'On The Road Edition', hosted by Stevie Kim. Today she is at the beautiful, family run Winery, Casanova di Neri in Montalcino, Tuscany, chatting with owner Giacomo Neri - listen in as they talk about the winemaking, the labels, the terroir as well as their recent 50th anniversary celebrations! This is a 2-part interview. Today's interview is Part 1 of 2 More about Casanova di Neri Winery: "We were amazed when we discovered that the letters of CASANOVA DI NERI, the name Giovanni Neri gave the company in 1971, could be rearranged to form a number of Italian sentences that embody some of our deepest held beliefs about wine and winemaking. Could these be ‘messages in a bottle’, sent by our nonno to guide us even when he was no longer around? We’ll never know, but it’s a nice thought! Here, then, is our winemaking credo, summed up in seven anagrams. We believe that success is all about playing the long game. The company founder, Giovanni Neri, was a visionary who understood, well before it became a dogma, that planting the right grapes in the right vineyards was the key to creating great Brunellos. We have continued his legacy, fully aware that the decisions we make today will have an impact on our grandchildren and their grandchildren."
