The wine

Brunello Maselli 2016: The deep soul of Montalcino

Imagine for a moment the golden light of Tuscany caressing the hills, where a wine is born that whispers stories of earth and tradition. This Brunello di Montalcino 2016 from Tenuta Maselli is much more than a bottle; it is an invitation to a sensory journey, a dive into the authenticity of an exceptional terroir.

The cradle of Sangiovese Grosso

I'm taking you to the heart of Tuscany, to Montalcino, where the vines of Tenuta Maselli thrive on unique soils. Here, the Sangiovese Grosso, the only grape variety permitted for Brunello, draws its strength from a soil rich in galestro and clay. It is this generous land that gives the wine its robust structure and its distinctive aromatic complexity, the fruit of a perfect balance between tradition and ancestral know-how.

The 2016 vintage, after a traditional fermentation in steel tanks and a long maceration, aged patiently. This process, including an aging in large wooden barrels, is essential to develop this highly characteristic olfactory profile that you are about to discover. Its color already sets the tone, a deep garnet red. On the nose, you will be charmed by notes of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and dried plum, interwoven with sweet spices, leather and a subtle scent of tobacco. On the palate, it reveals itself as ample and enveloping, with elegant, velvety tannins. Its balanced acidity and persistent finish testify to the longevity promised by this great Tuscan wine.

Un compagnon de table inoubliable

This Brunello 2016 is a true ode to gastronomy. I warmly recommend it with grilled or sauced red meats, where its structure and aromas will find a perfect echo. It will also enhance game, revealing unexpected facets, or aged cheeses, whose richness it will highlight. It is the ideal wine for an exceptional evening, a privileged moment of sharing, where each sip will carry you a little further into the heart of Tuscany.

⚠️ Alcohol abuse is dangerous for your health — consume in moderation. Sale prohibited to minors.

This 2016 Brunello draws its character from Sangiovese Grosso grown on galestro and clay, then aged in large barrels: a good reason to let it take its time. Save it for an occasion that deserves a long-aging wine, not for an impromptu dinner.
