Dono, which means ‘gift’ in Italian, is a special red wine from Piombaia in Montalcino. It is made from 100% Sangiovese Grosso, the grape used for Brunello, and is classified as Toscana Rosso IGT. The grapes from the 2015 harvest were hand-picked into crates in the second half of October.
The wine underwent spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel tanks without temperature control and without added sulphites, with 35 days of skin contact. It was then aged for 36 months in large oak casks of 15 and 30 hectolitres, followed by no less than four years in the bottle. This lengthy ageing process results in a wine with depth and a mature, complex character.
A wine that calls for hearty, flavourful dishes, such as game, grilled meat, roasts, dishes featuring porcini mushrooms or mature cheeses. Serve it at 18–20°C and allow it to breathe gently in a decanter first. A lovely bottle to open on a special occasion, or, as the name suggests, to give as a gift.
The wine comes directly from the winemakers, they send the bottles themselves.
