Castello Tricerchi Brunello di Montalcino AD 1441 DOCG 2016

This Brunello di Montalcino is the latest addition to the line of high-quality wines from Castello Tricerchi. Tomasso has outdone himself with this full-bodied and elegant Brunello, just like the "regular" Brunello in its aroma, it has notes of black cherry and strawberry with a touch of tobacco and chocolate, but is more elegant and well-balanced in its expression. The taste is soft and lingers on the palate for a long time.

The vineyards, which consist of a mixture of clay and sand, lie at an altitude of approx. 300 m. with a south-westerly exposure. The age of the fields is approx. 15 years and yields a yield of 5.3 tonnes of grapes per hectare, or equivalent to approx. 1.3 kg. per plant. All picking takes place by hand and vinification takes place in stainless tanks at a controlled temperature of 23 degrees for 14 days. The malolactic fermentation continues for five months, after which the wine is aged in large Slavonian oak barrels of 15-20 hectoliters for 42 months. The wines are then aged for at least 6 months in the bottle before release.
