Dive into the fascinating history of Brunello di Montalcino, a legendary wine that embodies the soul of Tuscany. Each bottle is a sensory journey to the heart of the Tuscan landscapes, an invitation to savor the complexity and richness of this unique wine, cultivated with care and passion.
The Brunello di Montalcino is an exceptional red wine, produced exclusively in the region of Montalcino, in Tuscany. Its history dates back to the 19th century when a visionary named Clemente Santi began to explore the potential of the Sangiovese grape variety. This wine is now considered one of the most prestigious in Italy, symbolizing the art of Tuscan viticulture.
This wine was born in the small town of Montalcino, where the high altitude, limestone and schist soils, and Mediterranean climate provide ideal conditions for growing Sangiovese. Since its first bottling, it has managed to conquer the hearts of connoisseurs around the world. Its heritage, passed down from generation to generation, makes it a symbol of the know-how and passion of the winemakers in this region.
The terroir of Montalcino plays a key role in the exceptional quality of Brunello di Montalcino. At an altitude of 500 meters, this region benefits from a perfect Mediterranean climate, with hot, dry summers and cool winters. The soils, rich in limestone, clay, and schist, allow for optimal drainage, which is reflected in the finesse and complexity of the wine.
The Brunello di Montalcino is made from 100% Sangiovese, an emblematic grape variety of Tuscany. This grape is known for its tannic structure, freshness, and ability to produce complex and elegant wines. The winemakers of Montalcino harness all the richness of Sangiovese by using meticulous winemaking techniques and ensuring the aging of the wine to reveal its most subtle aromas.
The Brunello di Montalcino stands out for its complex and evolving aromatic palette. Young, it offers notes of ripe red fruits, black cherries, and violet, with hints of sweet spices. As it ages, it develops deeper aromas such as undergrowth, tobacco, leather, and nuances of vanilla that enrich its aromatic bouquet.
