Tasting Notes

This Brunello di Montalcino DOCG stands as a benchmark for Tuscany's highest quality classification. Its 14.5% alcohol content underpins a rich, muscular structure. Crafted from Sangiovese 100%, this wine expresses the unique terroir characteristics. Expect layered dark fruit aromas, firm tannins and a long, satisfying finish. The fruit is sourced from vineyards in Montalcino, facing south, south-west, at an altitude of 250-450 m. above sea level, on soils rich in sand, clay and calcium. Vinification: alcoholic and malolactic fermentation. The wine is aged 2 years in Slavonian oak casks, then 2 years in French oak barriques and 4 months in bottle. A wine capturing the sun-drenched hills of Tuscany in every glass.
