Brunello Di Montalcino 2018

The Brunello di Montalcino is made from 100% Sangiovese, with a traditional red fermentation at a controlled temperature of 28°C for 18 days. It is aged for 24 months in barrels, 20% of which are new and 80% used in second and third passages. It is further refined with a minimum of 24 months in the bottle, providing a well-balanced structure and remarkable complexity.

The vines are planted at an altitude of 350 to 450 meters on medium-textured soils rich in clay. The yield is limited to 6 tonnes of grapes per hectare, with a planting density of 5,000 vines per hectare. Pruning is done in spurred cordon, promoting optimal concentration and even ripening of the grapes.

This Brunello displays a ruby color with garnet highlights. The nose is expressive and typical of Sangiovese, blending ripe red fruit aromas with spicy and slightly woody notes. On the palate, it is harmonious, well-structured, with a long and persistent finish, revealing fine, well-integrated tannins.

This Brunello di Montalcino is best enjoyed at a serving temperature of 18°C. It pairs beautifully with rich dishes such as stews, roasted meats, or aged cheeses. A slight decanting before serving will help reveal its full aromatic complexity and depth on the palate.
