Collection: Brunello di Montalcino DOCG

Brunello di Montalcino DOCG is a red wine made from Sangiovese in Montalcino in Tuscany. Here you will find our selection of Brunello, so you can compare vintages and choose the style that suits your meal or your wine collection. The wines share a common origin, but growing site, vintage and the winemaker's choices give different expressions in the glass.

The appellation requires Sangiovese, which is known locally as Brunello. The name should therefore not be understood as a requirement for one particular, separate clone. The grape is known for its acidity and tannin, and in Brunello it is associated with a dry, structured wine. Aroma and flavour can move from fruit towards more developed nuances as the individual wine matures.

Brunello must age at least two years in oak barrels and at least four months in bottle. The wine may not be sold before 1 January of the fifth year after the harvest year. For Riserva it is the sixth year after the harvest, and the minimum requirement for bottle ageing is six months. This describes the rules for release, not a guarantee of when any given bottle tastes best.

When you choose Brunello to drink now, the specific vintage and wine description are a good place to start. If you are looking for a bottle to keep, you should likewise assess the individual wine and your storage conditions. Brunello can pair with dishes of red meat, game, mushrooms or aged cheeses, whose flavours can complement the wine's structure.

You can also compare Brunello with other wines made from Sangiovese to get to know the grape's different expressions. If you want to explore the area more broadly, you will find our other wines from Tuscany in the regional selection. Use Brunello as a starting point, and let your preferences for fruit, maturation and firmness guide the choice between the individual bottles.
