Brunello di Montalcino DOCG

Maselli Brunello 2017: The robust soul of Montalcino

Picture yourself in the heart of Tuscany, where the hills roll beneath the sun, the cradle of wines that tell stories. The 2017 Brunello di Montalcino from Tenuta Maselli is one of those, a deep and authentic expression of an exceptional terroir.

Montalcino, land of Sangiovese Grosso

This wine takes root in the famous Montalcino region, a name that resonates with prestige in the wine world. Tenuta Maselli cultivates there, with a passion you can sense in every sip, the king grape variety of these lands: Sangiovese Grosso. Its vines thrive on limestone soils, bathed in an ideal microclimate that ensures perfect ripeness of the berries. It is here that the magic happens, transforming the fruit of the earth into a nectar of rare intensity.

Maselli's Brunello is the fruit of careful winemaking. After fermentation in steel tanks, it benefits from a long maceration that gives it its structure and complexity. Then it embarks on a patient journey, a minimum ageing of five years, partly in oak barrels. To the eye, you discover an intense, deep red colour. On the nose, it is a symphony: ripe red fruits, such as cherry and plum, intermingle with spicy notes of leather and tobacco, complemented by balsamic and earthy touches. On the palate, it reveals a full body, elegant tannins and balanced freshness, offering remarkable persistence.

Delicious pairings and chosen moments

This 2017 Brunello is an ideal companion for generous tables. I recommend it with roasted red meats, game or aged cheeses. Picture a special dinner, an occasion to celebrate, where this wine would elevate every dish and every conversation. It is an invitation to savour Tuscany, glass after glass, in all its splendour.
