The wine

Pieri Agostina: The Soul of the 2018 Brunello

Imagine yourself in the heart of Tuscany, where the sun caresses the vines and history can be read in every stone. This Brunello di Montalcino 2018 from Pieri Agostina is not just a wine, it is an invitation to a sensory journey, an authentic expression of an exceptional terroir.

Montalcino, the cradle of an exceptional Sangiovese

The Pieri Agostina estate, nestled in the hills of Montalcino, passionately perpetuates the Brunello tradition. Here, the Sangiovese Grosso grape reigns supreme, cultivated with ancestral know-how that respects the land and its fruits. This wine is a reflection of that harmony, a pure Sangiovese Grosso that matured under the Tuscan sun of 2018, a year blessed with ideal climatic conditions.

At first glance, its deep colour envelops you in intense depth. On the nose, you will discover a complex symphony: aromas of ripe woodland fruits, plum and black cherry blend harmoniously with more evolved notes of tobacco, leather and sweet spices. This is the result of long ageing, including a minimum of two years in wooden barrels, after fermentation in steel vats and a long maceration. On the palate, this Brunello will offer you beautiful body, silky tannins and a surprising freshness that perfectly balances its power. Its persistence is remarkable, leaving you with a sapid finish that invites another sip.

Perfect pairings for a Tuscan table

This Brunello di Montalcino 2018 is the ideal companion for your most refined meals. I warmly recommend it with grilled red meats, slow-cooked game or aged cheeses. It will enhance these dishes and turn a simple dinner into a true feast for the senses. This is the wine to bring out for a special occasion, a moment of sharing with friends or an intimate celebration. Let yourself be carried away by the elegance and complexity of this wine that embodies the excellence of Tuscan viticulture.

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

The detail that sets this 2018 Brunello apart is its long maceration after fermentation in steel tanks, followed by at least two years in wooden barrels: quite a journey for the Sangiovese Grosso from Montalcino. Save it for a meal that deserves to be savored slowly.
