Highlights

  • 100% Sangiovese (Grosso): Sourced exclusively from the historic Montosoli hill, one of Montalcino's most celebrated and pioneering crus known for its site transparency and precision.
  • Terroir: A special, well-draining mix of marl and galestro soils laced with ancient marine fossils, providing the wine with its pronounced mineral tone and elegance.
  • Winemaking: A traditional approach that champions acidity, finesse, and aromatic complexity over sheer modern extraction or ripe fruit concentration.
  • Elevage: Aged gracefully in traditional, large Slavonian oak casks to soften the tannins and mature the wine without imparting sweet vanilla or obtrusive new wood flavors.
  • Vintage Profile: The 2021 vintage is a modern classic, offering an effortless balance between lifted, vibrant aromatics, tightly woven structure, and outstanding long-term aging potential.

Tasting Notes

Pouring a luminous ruby red that hints at garnet, this Brunello opens with a breathtaking, deeply expressive bouquet of dried black cherry, dusty rose petals, violet pastille, and blood orange, underpinned by a distinct crushed-stone minerality. On the palate, it is medium-bodied yet intensely flavorful, defined by textures of pure silk and a beautifully focused, energetic structure. Refined, tightly woven tannins and a lifting acidity carry the wine to a long, mineral-driven finish tinged with savory herbs, tobacco leaf, and subtle clove.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve at 60-64°F (16-18°C) in a large Bordeaux or Sangiovese balloon glass to allow the complex, ethereal aromas to expand.
  • Decanting: Decant for 2 to 3 hours in its youth to allow the tightly wound structure to unfurl. Pair with wild boar ragù, roasted venison, or aged Pecorino cheese. Drink from 2027 to 2050.
