It is a rigorous expression, designed for those who prefer wines with character.Where it comes fromThis Brunello di Montalcino originates in the namesake wine-growing area, a historically significant region for this grape variety. The vines sink their roots into a clay-sandy soil, a key natural element delivering solidity and color retention to the wine. The direct relationship between Sangiovese Grosso and this earthy substrate ensures a solid and substantial palate. The identity of this label is strongly linked to the intense flavors determined by the local slopes.How it is producedProduction is based on a traditional red wine vinification, calibrated for optimal and precise extraction. Following fermentation, the wine matures for twenty-two months in oak barrels and barriques, a crucial phase for softening the tannic profile and enriching the aromatic bouquet. Once the evolution in wood is complete, the wine undergoes a further two-month bottle aging, necessary to stabilize the overall balance of the tasting experience.Tasting notesIn the glass, it immediately grabs attention with its intense ruby red color, a sign of excellent extraction concentration. The nose reveals a bouquet of pronounced fruity aromas, clear and recognizable, anticipating the tasting. On the palate, it is immediately substantial and enveloping, guided by rich and well-present tannins resulting from skillful use of oak. The persistence accompanies the finish in perfect harmony with the olfactory impact.PairingsIts notable structure and firm tannins make it a natural choice for red meat main courses.

The vibrant fruity profile ensures harmony during meals with intensely flavored and savory dishes.When to serveThis label is the ideal option to enrich a table set with hearty and complete meals. The measured aging in oak and resting in glass lend it a structural stability perfect for important gatherings.
