This Brunello has moderate, ripe tannins, balanced acidity and a soft, full body with deep notes of black cherry, tobacco and chocolate. It thrives with juicy, fatty meat, where the richness rounds off the tannins, while the structure cuts through the fullness. Feel free to choose long-braised and grilled dishes with umami, so the wine's intensity and the food meet at eye level, and lean on regional Tuscan classics for a natural match.

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.

Tommaso has outdone himself with this full-bodied and elegant Brunello.

Aroma notes of black cherries and strawberries with a hint of tobacco and chocolate—as we know from the 'regular' Brunello, but this 'riserva' is more elegant and well-balanced in its expression.

The taste is smooth and lingers long on the palate.

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

The vines are approximately 30 years old.

Harvest in mid-September. Vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 23 degrees over 90 days. The wine is aged in large Slavonian oak barrels of 15-20 hectoliters for 30 months.

Afterwards, the wines are aged for at least 8 months in the bottle before release.

Only 2,500 bottles produced in this vintage.
