Description

The estate is one of the oldest and most respected in the Montalcino region, known for its long history of winemaking and commitment to producing wines that exemplify the unique characteristics of the region. Brunello di Montalcino is made exclusively from Sangiovese, the iconic grape of Tuscany, and is considered one of the finest and most age-worthy wines in the world.
Region: Montalcino, Tuscany, Italy
Grape Variety: 100% Sangiovese (locally known as Brunello in this region)
Classification: DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita) – the highest classification for Italian wines.
Brunello di Montalcino is crafted with great care. The grapes are hand-harvested to ensure that only the finest fruit is selected. After fermentation, the wine is aged for at least two years in oak barrels, followed by additional aging in the bottle before release. The oak aging helps to soften the tannins and adds complexity to the wine, while preserving the bright fruit and freshness that are characteristic of Sangiovese.
