20-day maceration at 28-30°C, and malolactic fermentation in steel. Maturation for 36 months in 500 liter French oak barrels and in 60 hl Slavonian oak, followed by a further 12 months in the bottle.
Deep ruby red. Offers up aromas of well-ripened wild berries, blackberry preserves, tobacco leaf, and tanned leather. An expansive, generous palate displays a rich mouthfeel, developing into a lengthy finale marked by fruit liqueur. Pairs perfectly with a wide range of meats, particularly game and boar, and with aged pecorino cheese.
Combines elegance with structure, leading off with cherry, strawberry, earth and spice flavors. Guided by vivid acidity, with a layer of dusty tannins underneath, this red reveals mineral and herb notes on the extended finish.

Blueberries and spices with a touch of cedar and dried flowers. Medium- to full-bodied, showing firm, crisp, delineated tannins with a clean, tight finish. Drinkable now but will benefit from a couple of years in the bottle.

The 2021 Brunello di Montalcino is hauntingly dark in the glass, with a spicy wave of dried cherries, clove and mentholated herbs tempting the senses. It is ripe in style with cooling acidity to elevate its red and black fruits. Lifted yet structured, the 2021 pinches at the cheeks with youthful tension as nuances of licorice fade.
