This Brunello has a beautifully structured body with ripe, perfectly balanced tannins and a fresh cherry and spice character. The firm yet ripe tannins need richness and protein to grip onto, so choose well-prepared meat from the grill or braising, where fat and umami soften the tannin and lift the flavor. At the same time, the wine's fresh acidity cuts through hearty sauces and keeps the palate refreshed, while the intensity matches robust dishes without overpowering them.

About the wine

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

All harvesting is done by hand, and 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. The wines are then aged for at least 8 months in the bottle before release.

24,000 bottles of this vintage have been produced.

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. Lovely long and intense flavor.

Enjoy it with well-prepared food.

Ici, le sangiovese prend un profil aromatique unique, car il est le premier à présenter cette note de fenouil frais...
