Produced by Il Colle estate in Montalcino, this 2019 Brunello reflects the warm vintage's ripe fruit and concentration from galestro-rich soils in the southern sector. Hand-harvested Sangiovese Grosso undergoes traditional fermentation and extended ageing in large Slavonian oak casks to integrate structure while preserving elegance. The result balances power with finesse, typical of well-managed 2019 Brunelli.
