A great vintage, which will go down in history as 2010, 2016 and 2019, but with that ‘extra quid’ that makes it recognizable and unique. A vintage where the fruit, the tension, and the density typical of the Montalcino area are particularly evident, demonstrating sometimes very strong acidic veins and salinity.
Sangiovese 100%
Brunello di Montalcino is one of the wine glories of modern Italian oenology. DOCG since 1980, it is produced in Tuscany, in an area located about 40 km south of Siena, precisely in the area of Montalcino, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The so-called ‘hill’ of Montalcino consists of about 24,000 hectares, of which about 3,500 are dedicated to the cultivation of the vines. The variety of Sangiovese (here renamed ‘Grosso’), from which Brunello di Montalcino is obtained, is incredibly sensitive to the soils on which it is cultivated.
Montalcino, like the Langhe, has a very rare heterogeneity of soils, exposures and altitudes, the basis of the great quality of its wines. Clay, tuff, limestone and marl, from which Galestro and Alberese derive. The latter two are located at the highest altitudes. The high position of the plants, together with a rich mosaic of variables, have determined the peculiarity of Brunello since its origin.
2021 VINTAGE
A great vintage, which will go down in history as 2010, 2016 and 2019, but with that ‘extra quid’ that makes it recognizable and unique. A vintage where the fruit, the tension, and the density typical of the Montalcino area are particularly evident, demonstrating sometimes very strong acidic veins and salinity. Another important characteristic is the respect of the peculiarities on the different sides, clear and well-defined, testifying an harvest of great wealth. Very quality vintage right from the start, which will certainly improve over time. The climate ensured favourable conditions for the ripening of Sangiovese, combining quality and balance.
