The Brunello di Montalcino is the flagship wine of Piombaia, an organic wine estate in Montalcino in southern Tuscany. The wine is made from 100 per cent Sangiovese Grosso. The grapes from the 2016 harvest were hand-picked into crates during the second half of October. Brunello di Montalcino is one of Italy’s most renowned wines, with DOCG status and a long mandatory ageing period.
The grapes fermented spontaneously in steel tanks without temperature control and without the addition of sulphites. The skins were left to macerate for no less than sixty days. The wine then aged for 45 months in a large 30-hectolitre oak cask and a further four months in the bottle. This extended skin contact and ageing result in a powerful, deep Brunello with a robust structure and fresh acidity.
A wine for special occasions: it really comes into its own with game, grilled meats, roasts, dishes featuring porcini mushrooms and mature cheeses. Serve it at 18–20°C in a large glass and, ideally, allow it time to breathe in a decanter. Thanks to its structure, this Brunello can also be cellared for years to come.
The wine comes directly from the winemakers, they send the bottles themselves.
