The wine

Brunello di Montalcino Tassi: the soul of Montalcino

Today I invite you to meet a wine that embodies the elegance and power of Tuscany. This Brunello di Montalcino from the Tassi estate is a true expression of its terroir, a bottle that celebrates winemaking tradition with rare depth.

Montalcino, land of Sangiovese Grosso

Nestled in the heart of Tuscany, the Tassi estate perpetuates ancestral know-how in Montalcino, that region whose name resonates with the excellence of Italian wine. It is here, on these blessed lands, that Sangiovese Grosso, the sole grape variety, draws all its strength. This wine is the fruit of fermentation in steel tanks, followed by a long maceration, essential steps that shape its character. It then benefits from aging of at least five years, giving it remarkable maturity and complexity.

Visually, this Brunello presents itself with an intense ruby color, which, over time, evolves into fascinating garnet highlights. On the nose, you will discover a complex and balanced bouquet, where aromas of ripe red fruits such as cherry and plum intertwine. Nuances of tobacco, bitter chocolate and a subtle hint of vanilla, a legacy of its long aging in wood, complete this olfactory palette. On the palate, it is a wine with a solid structure, carried by robust yet elegantly polished tannins, which contribute to a long and satisfying finish. Its well-balanced acidity guarantees persistent freshness, harmoniously conversing with the richness of its flavors.

An ideal table companion

This Brunello di Montalcino Tassi is the ideal partner for privileged tasting moments. I warmly recommend it with characterful dishes: think red meats, game or even aged cheeses. It is a wine that does not merely tell the story of the richness of the Montalcino terroir, it will take you on a journey to the heart of the passion and dedication of the Tassi cellar. A deep and memorable sensory experience awaits you.

The Tassi 2021 stands out for its fermentation in steel tanks, followed by a long maceration and then at least five years of aging: here, patience is truly part of the Brunello's character. Save it for a meal that takes its time, such as a cinghiale in umido.
