- Well-aged steak

- Osso buco
This Brunello has a rich and juicy tannic structure in lovely balance, with ripe red fruits, plum and a slight hint of roasted coffee. The tannins settle down against fatty, powerful proteins, so well-hung beef and game are the entirely natural choice, where the meat's richness softens the mouth and brings out the fruit. The wine's deep and powerful flavors match robust preparations such as grilling and long braising, and the long aftertaste holds up nicely against well-aged, hard cheeses. Serve it preferably at 17-18 degrees, so the tannins feel their most velvety smooth.

About the wine
Hand harvested in mid-September.
Natural fermentation in steel tanks. Limited addition of sulfites.
Aged on the lees in Bourgogne barriques for at least 3 years, with a maximum of 10% new wood.
Bottling takes place no earlier than 4 years after harvest, without any filtration.
The color is a nice light ruby red.
The aroma is delicate with notes of ripe raspberries, cherries and plums, with a hint of roasted coffee.
The taste is nicely consistent with a rich and juicy tannic structure in really nice balance. The aftertaste is long and seductive.
A wine that goes well with food with deep and powerful flavors.
Really nice craftsmanship with a long life!

Certified organic by Valoritalia. Beguiling, perfumed red-fruit and oak nose with a white-pepper note. Plenty of concentration. Simply gorgeous. So juicy, gripping and fresh. A must buy.

The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino dazzles with a bright mix of confectionary cherry, candied citrus and exotic spice forming its sweetly seductive bouquet.
