Brunello di Montalcino

About

Brunello di Montalcino is a renowned Italian red wine produced exclusively in the Montalcino region of Tuscany. It is crafted from 100% Sangiovese grapes, specifically the Sangiovese Grosso clone, which thrives in the area's unique terroir. The wine is celebrated for its elegance, complexity, and exceptional aging potential. Visually, it presents a vibrant garnet color that evolves into brick-like hues with age. The aroma is intense and complex, featuring notes of wild berries, licorice, leather, and subtle spices. Brunello di Montalcino undergoes a rigorous aging process, typically spending at least five years in oak barrels and bottles before release. This prolonged aging enhances its rich, full-bodied character and smooth tannins. The wine is ideal for pairing with robust dishes such as roasted meats, game, and aged cheeses. Its high acidity and balanced flavors make it a versatile companion for various cuisines. Brunello di Montalcino is a symbol of Italian winemaking excellence, known worldwide for its quality and heritage.
