The Sangiovese from Tuscany is a classic red wine with intense ruby red color and a bouquet of mature berries and spices. Aged in oak barrels for 24 months, it offers a complex, well-structured, and harmonic taste.
Appellation: Brunello Di Montalcino
Region: Tuscany
Grape Variety: 100% Sangiovese
Winemaking: Harvested exclusively by hand between the last week of September and the first week of October; fermented for 15–20 days in stainless steel vats at controlled temperature with frequent pumping over, then aged 24 months in oak barrels and at least 4 months in bottle.
Tasting Notes: "Spicy and vibrant, showing embers, smoky wood and plenty of licorice and red cherries, as well as ash. Medium-bodied, crisp and tight with chewy tannins and a slightly sticky, savory finish." From James Suckling
Food Pairing: Excellent with braised beef short ribs, roasted lamb, wild boar ragù, grilled venison, and aged Pecorino cheese.
