This Brunello has fresh tannins, a lively cherry acidity and a mineral, almost salty character, which makes it both elegant and structured. The firm tannins love richness and protein, so juicy meat and mature cheeses meet the wine halfway and become softer in the mouth, while the acidity cuts through the fat and keeps the palate fresh. Feel free to choose dishes prepared in the oven or on the grill, so their fullness matches the wine's intensity without drowning out the grape's finesse.

About the wine

From the estate's one hectare on the famous Montosoli hill just north of the town of Montalcino. A vineyard known for producing Sangiovese with a distinctive mineral—almost salty—character that beautifully complements the grape’s tart cherry fruit. The plot is situated at about 300 meters altitude with eastern exposure, contributing to the wine’s vibrancy and finesse.

The wine is intense and nuanced with dark cherries, balsamic tones, cedarwood, and spicy citrus notes.

The texture is silky and balanced, supported by fresh minerality and fine tannins. The finish is classically dry and persistent, with hints of licorice and wild berries—a harmonious Brunello with excellent aging potential.

A wine that convincingly balances grandeur and elegance, with a clarity and energy that already show why Montosoli is regarded among the very best vineyards of Montalcino.

The vinification follows the estate’s uncompromising approach with natural yeast, fermentation in concrete tanks, and long maceration before aging 36 months in large Slavonian oak casks.

Critic reviews

Vinous
At first coy, yet with a bit of coaxing, the 2021 Brunello di Montalcino Casanovina Montosoli becomes explosive, blending balsamic-laced black cherries with cedar spice box, incense, dusty earth and spiced citrus rinds. It is a model of balance, with silken textures and depths of polished red berry fruits underscored by crisp mineral tones as a cascade of inner florals swirls throughout.
