The wine

Brunello di Montalcino Cantina Di Montalcino: the soul of Tuscany

I invite you to discover a treasure of Tuscany, a wine that embodies the elegance and depth of its terroir. This Brunello di Montalcino, 2016 vintage, is a true open door to the richness of Italy.

The heart of Montalcino: terroir and tradition

Nestled in the heart of Tuscany, the Cantina Di Montalcino estate enjoys a unique climate and terroir, giving its wines distinctive characteristics. This Brunello is made exclusively from Sangiovese Grosso, a king grape variety here, hand-harvested in the best vineyards of Montalcino. It is a story of passion and tradition that unfolds with every sip.

Its deep red color promises a rich sensory experience. On the nose, you will be enveloped by an intense and complex bouquet, where notes of ripe red fruits, delicate spices, and touches of leather and tobacco mingle, a legacy of its long aging. On the palate, this wine reveals a robust and enveloping structure, with perfectly mastered tannic balance. The aromatic persistence is remarkable, prolonging the pleasure in a long and satisfying finish.

An ideal table companion

To fully appreciate this Brunello di Montalcino, I recommend serving it at a temperature of 18°C. It will be the perfect partner for your dinners, pairing wonderfully with red meats, game, or aged cheeses. Imagine it alongside a good slow-cooked dish; it will enhance every flavor.

This wine is an invitation to slow down, to savor the moment. You can enjoy it now to appreciate its youth and fruitiness, or let it age for a few years in the cellar. It will then evolve beautifully, revealing new facets of its personality. It is a complete sensory experience that I recommend, a journey into the heart of authentic Tuscany.
