BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO DOCG
Brunello di Montalcino DOCG
A highly rated wine, considered one of the best in the region
You can lose yourself in the bouquet of this Brunello that develops itself at every sip,
showing crushed cherries with autumnal spice; the next, it’s exotic florals and candied
orange peels, and at another time flowery undergrowth, white smoke and wild berries It’s
unbelievably soft and pure, lifting the wine through saline-minerals, as sweet notes of
cherry and raspberry begin to slowly saturate, yet what they leave behind is youthfully
grippy tannins.
SUITABLE WITH
Florentine steak, fillet steak, dishes with truffles or porcini
TASTING
We suggest to decant the wine at least 1 hour before serving. This wine shows its best after
some years of aging but is already outstanding now.
SERVING TIPS
Serve at 16-18° C
VINIFICATION
A wine from vineyards located at 200, 300 and 450 metres above sea level with different
exposures. The area is close to Castelnuovo dell’Abate, in the valley of the Orcia river.
Grapes are hand picked after a careful selection. The yield is 3 - 3,5 tons per hectare. This
Brunello di Montalcino is made with 100% Sangiovese Grosso and the fermentation is
spontaneous and made in 70 hl oak casks. After the malolactic fermentation, the wine ages
for 40 months in 30 hl oak casks plus an additional 12 months in bottle.
