Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2016

Complex and well-structured, our Brunello di Montalcino represents the perfect combination of power, finesse, and long aging potential.

Food pairings

It finds its perfect match in refined, richly flavored red meats such as game (and wild boar in particular), stews, or mature cheeses. It also goes well with grilled vegetables, mushrooms, and spicy dishes.

Vinification and maturation

Temperature-controlled vinification in stainless steel and fermentation with indigenous yeasts; 4 weeks’ maceration. Maturation for 3 years in large (20 and 35 hl) Slavonian oak casks. Finally, the wine clears naturally by settling in stainless steel and is then left to rest for a minimum of six months in bottle before release onto the market.
