This Brunello has a full body, ripe but well-developed tannins and a soft, long finish with notes of black cherry, tobacco and chocolate. That kind of structure thrives with juicy, fatty proteins and robust preparations, where the richness rounds off the tannins, while the tannins cut through the fat. Choose dishes that are slow-sweated, grilled or braised, preferably with a bit of umami from mushrooms or aged cheese, so you match the wine's intensity without drowning out its elegance. Ripe, dark fruit notes also suit game and dishes with a touch of sweetness in the sauce.

About the wine

This Brunello di Montalcino is the latest addition to the high-quality wines from Castello Tricerchi. The castle was founded in the year 1441. This Magnum bottle is presented in an elegant wooden case.

Tommaso has outdone himself with this rich and elegant Brunello. It offers aromatic notes of black cherries and strawberries with a hint of tobacco and chocolate, similar to the 'regular' Brunello, but this 'riserva' is more elegant and well-balanced in its expression. The taste is smooth and lingers on the palate.

The vineyards, Vigna del Castello and Vigna del Veloder, consist of a mix of clay and sand, located at an elevation of 290 meters with a west/northwest exposure.

The vineyards are approximately 30 years old.

The harvest took place in early October by hand, and vinification occurs in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 23 degrees over 30 days.

The malolactic fermentation continues for five months, after which the wine ages in large Slavonian oak barrels of 15-20 hectoliters for 36 months. Afterward, the wines age for at least 8 months in the bottle before release.

Only 2,700 bottles were produced of this vintage.
