About the wine
Ferrero Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2019 is a textbook example of how sangiovese can express both power and elegance in the same glass.
The wine comes from the vineyards at Sant’Angelo in Colle, where the soil is rich in clay and has low natural fertility – a terroir that gives grapes with intensity and structure. The vines stand at about 250 meters altitude, where cool nights in September helped the grapes to perfect ripeness.
On the nose, one is met with a deep ruby red color and a bouquet where the classic notes of sangiovese are accompanied by fine spices from 32 months of aging in French Allier barrels.
The taste is concentrated and powerful with ripe tannins that are beautifully integrated with the wine's volume and acidity. The aftertaste is long, clean, and mineral, characterized by harmony and elegance – a wine that shows why 2019 is considered a great vintage in Montalcino.
Vinification takes place with 20 days of fermentation in steel tanks, before the wine is aged in small barrels, bottled, and subsequently matures in a temperature-controlled cellar.
It is a wine that will develop beautifully for many years to come.
Only 1,100 bottles and 30 magnums of this Riserva have been produced.
