The 2015 vintage will be definitely remembered as one of Montalcino’s greatest harvests ever. A particularly favourable weather ensured a proper water accumulation in the soil, in addition to an even growth of the bunches during May and June. The summer months, with their constant temperatures, favoured a gradual, perfect ripening, thanks to the good day/night thermal excursion. In fall — and, therefore, closer to the harvest — the weather ensured the grape quality and conservation, obtaining healthy bunches and high quality must.
The 2015 vintage of Brunello di Montalcino expresses a great potential and longevity in the glass. The intense ruby red colour of this wine visually accentuates its potential; its scent gifts us with a complexity of aromas associated with plum and ripe cherry, perfectly combined with licorice and tobacco. The mouthfeel is rich and balanced. Intense and persistent final taste. Particularly recommended with rich and flavourful dishes. Perfect as meditation wine.
Ageing: 70% in 30 and 50hl French oak barrels, and 30% in small kegs for approximately 3 years
