Comment on noteThe wine
Imagine yourself in the heart of Tuscany, where the hills roll under a generous sun. It is from this landscape that this Brunello di Montalcino is born, a wine that whispers the story of its terroir with every sip.
The Casale del Bosco estate, nestled on the gentle hills of Montalcino, is the cradle of this wine. Here, Sangiovese Grosso, the only grape variety permitted for Brunello, finds its noblest expression. This 2019 vintage, from vineyards bathed in light, is the fruit of a centuries-old tradition and meticulous craftsmanship.
As soon as you pour it, you are captivated by its deep ruby red color, dotted with garnet highlights. On the nose, I detect a complex and precise bouquet: aromas of ripe woodland fruits intertwine with notes of anise and delicate touches of vanilla. On the palate, it reveals an enveloping warmth and beautiful fullness. The tannins, well present, are remarkably supple, and the finish is long, leaving you with a lasting impression of refinement. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for at least twenty days, followed by a long maceration. Its aging is demanding: twelve months in second-passage French oak barriques, then twelve additional months in large Slavonian oak casks, before at least six months of refinement in bottle. This process gives it remarkable aging potential, promising a fascinating evolution over the years.
This Brunello di Montalcino 2019 is an ideal companion for your most refined meals. I recommend it with red meats, roasts or game dishes, especially pheasant or wild boar, particularly when enhanced by mushrooms or truffle. It also pairs wonderfully with strongly flavored aged cheeses, such as tomes and Tuscan pecorino. This wine is a true celebration, an invitation to savor the richness of Tuscany on a special occasion or simply for the pleasure of authenticity.
