Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2020

  The Brunello di Montalcino from the Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona winery is an impressive expression of the Tuscan Sangiovese Grosso grape variety - grown on the terraces of Castelnuovo dell'Abate in the Montalcino region, where calcareous and marly soils and sunny slopes provide ideal conditions. The vinification process reflects a high level of craftsmanship: selected hand-picking, fermentation in temperature-controlled containers, and extended aging in large Slavonian oak barrels create a balance between fruit, maturity, and structure.

In the glass, the wine unfolds a deep ruby red color with garnet hues—a visual sign of its concentration and elegance. On the nose, aromas of wild cherries, plums, and ripe red berries come to the fore, complemented by spicy and earthy notes of tobacco, laurel, leather, and undergrowth that speak of the terroir. On the palate, this Brunello displays a captivating presence, finely honed tannins, and a clear texture: powerful but never clumsy, with a long, harmonious finish—a wine that is enjoyable in its youth but can also continue to mature over the years. - Gerardo [TS10/21]
