This Brunello has a beautiful structure with perfectly balanced, ripe tannins, a full body, and a balanced acidity that loves richness and well-cooked meat. The tannins are softened by fat-rich proteins, so choose juicy cuts and slow-braised dishes, where the power of the wine meets the weight of the food. The long, intense flavor and the dark, earthy notes suit umami-rich preparations like mushrooms and aged cheese, while the aroma of ripe cherries and sweet spices ties it all together. Stay away from lean fish and eggs, which make the tannins seem metallic and harsh.

About the wine

The 2019 Brunello vintage is classic and truly wonderful. Magnum Bottle.

An almost perfect weather pattern in 2019 has produced grapes of rare quality.
Vintage 2019 exemplifies how finesse, elegance, and structure can coexist in a single wine. 

The color is a beautiful clear ruby red.

The aroma is full of ripe cherries and citrus with a hint of sweet spices and dark earthy notes.

The taste is beautifully structured with perfectly balanced tannins. A wonderful long and intense flavor.

Enjoy it with well-prepared meals.

 

Harvested mid-September 2019.

The vineyards, which are a mix of clay and sand, are located at an altitude of about 300 m with a southwest exposure. The age of the vineyards is about 26 years.

All harvesting is done by hand, and the vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 23 degrees for 30 days.

The malolactic fermentation continues for five months, after which the wine is aged in large Slavonian oak barrels of 15-20 hectoliters for 24 months. Subsequently, the wine is aged at least 8 months in bottles before release.

There are 24,000 bottles produced of this vintage.

The magnum bottle comes in an elegant wooden box.

The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino displays a vibrant ruby hue, wafting up with an earthy blend of flowery undergrowth and crushed rocks before giving way to dried strawberries.

The nose is full of cherries and berries, but also lots of earth and spices, plus pepper, pencil shavings, sage and wild thyme. On the palate, the cherries are bright and red, and lifted by red plums just bursting with juice through snappy skin.
