Comment on noteThe wine
Let me guide you to a hidden treasure of Montalcino, a wine that whispers the history of Tuscany. The Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2016 from Podere Casisano is not just a wine, it is an encounter with the elegance and depth of Sangiovese Grosso, a vintage born from an exceptional year that shaped its structure and complexity.
It is in the heart of Montalcino's historic vineyards that Podere Casisano cultivates its Sangiovese Grosso, the sole grape variety of this Brunello. The year 2016, particularly generous and favorable, offered ideal conditions for crafting this wine. Fermentation in steel tanks, followed by a long maceration, allowed the full richness of the fruit to be extracted. Then, the wine waited a minimum of five years, two of them in oak barrels, to perfect its balance and personality.
When you pour it, its color already invites you on a journey. On the nose, an ample and elegant bouquet unfolds, revealing notes of ripe cherry and plum, delicately interwoven with tobacco and soft spices. On the palate, you will discover a perfectly integrated tannic structure, supported by a vibrant acidity that promises it beautiful longevity and persistent freshness. The finish is long, with reminders of red fruits and a subtle balsamic nuance that invites you to each new sip.
This Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is the ideal companion for generous tables. I recommend it with grilled red meats, a flavorful game dish or aged cheeses. Imagine it at a special dinner, an intimate celebration, where its presence will enrich every moment. It is an invitation to savor Tuscany in all its splendor, a wine that will leave you an unforgettable memory.
