Brunello di Montalcino DOCG from Cantina di Montalcino, a cooperative winery located in the renowned wine region of Montalcino, Tuscany, Italy. This wine is crafted from 100% Sangiovese grapes grown in the southeastern vineyards of Montalcino and aged for a minimum of two years in oak barrels to achieve DOCG certification. The wine presents a light ruby red color with aromas of ripe raspberries, blackberries, black cherry, and wild herbs, complemented by subtle notes of licorice, leather, cedar, and tobacco. On the palate, it delivers smooth, balanced flavors of juicy fruit with soft tannins and hints of candied fruits and spice. The finish is very long, dry, and slightly dusty with mineral characteristics. Cantina di Montalcino is a cooperative winery where local farmers who do not have their own cellars bring their Sangiovese grapes to create authentic Brunello di Montalcino at an accessible price point. This wine benefits from aeration and will continue to develop complexity over 5-10 years. Best served at room temperature, this Brunello pairs excellently with red meats, game, aged cheeses, and hearty Tuscan cuisine.
