Brunello di Montalcino DOCG

Ventolaio Brunello 2020: The robust soul of Montalcino

Imagine for a moment the Tuscan sun caressing the hills, the wind whispering through the century-old vines. This is where this Brunello di Montalcino from the Ventolaio estate comes from, a wine that tells you a story of tradition and passion, a true emblem of this exceptional terroir.

Montalcino, land of Sangiovese Grosso

This wine was born in the heart of Montalcino, in Tuscany, a region worldwide renowned for the excellence of its wines. The Ventolaio estate, with its expertise, cultivates Sangiovese Grosso there, a unique and proud grape variety that gives Brunello its robustness and complexity. Fermentation takes place in steel tanks, with a long maceration, allowing all the richness of the berries to be extracted.

When you pour it, you are first struck by its color: a deep ruby red, which turns to garnet over time, a promise of beautiful evolution. On the nose, a rich and persistent bouquet offers itself to you. I perceive notes of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and plum, which blend harmoniously with touches of tobacco, chocolate and a slight vanilla, the fruit of long aging in oak barrels. On the palate, it is ample, well-structured, with elegant and ripe tannins that give it great longevity. The balance between its acidity and its alcohol is impeccable, a true masterpiece of balance.

Brunello at your table

To fully appreciate this Brunello di Montalcino, I advise you to serve it at around 18°C. It will be the ideal companion for your most flavorful meals. Imagine it alongside a red meat roast, a game dish or a selection of aged cheeses. This wine has an aging potential that can exceed 20 years, so it will continue to surprise you and evolve over time. Let yourself be carried away by the art of Tuscan winemaking through this sublime example of Brunello di Montalcino.
