Brunello di Montalcino, great Tuscan wine, Sangiovese Grosso and Italian prestige
Brunello di Montalcino is one of Italy’s greatest red wines. Produced exclusively around Montalcino, in the province of Siena in Tuscany, this DOCG wine embodies the elegance, depth and ageing potential of the finest Tuscan terroirs. It is made from Sangiovese Grosso, a local variety of Sangiovese that produces structured, complex wines capable of evolving beautifully over time.
Buying Brunello di Montalcino online gives access to one of the most prestigious expressions of Italian wine. Powerful without being heavy, refined without losing its character, Brunello appeals to lovers of age-worthy wines, collectors and enthusiasts of great gastronomic reds.
The spirit of Brunello
Brunello di Montalcino expresses a noble vision of Tuscan wine: intensity, freshness, solid tannins, aromatic depth and great ageing capacity. It reflects the unique terroir of Montalcino, the character of Sangiovese Grosso and the savoir-faire of producers who shape these wines with patience and precision.
A great DOCG wine born in Montalcino
Brunello di Montalcino is produced exclusively in the Montalcino area, south of Siena. This zone benefits from a particularly favourable terroir for Sangiovese: well-exposed hills, varied soils, a Mediterranean climate and temperature variations that encourage slow, complete grape ripening.
The first historic vintage of Brunello di Montalcino dates back to 1888. Since then, the appellation has become one of the major symbols of Italian wine prestige. Its DOCG status confirms its high standards and its importance among the great wines of Tuscany.
Sangiovese Grosso: the soul of Brunello
Brunello di Montalcino is made from Sangiovese Grosso, a local variety of Sangiovese also known as Brunello. This grape produces deep, structured and expressive wines, marked by noble acidity, firm tannins and a remarkable ability to translate the nuances of terroir.
In the finest terroirs of Montalcino, Sangiovese Grosso develops aromas of black cherry, ripe red fruits, spices, tobacco, leather, noble earth and balsamic notes. With time, the wine gains complexity, finesse and harmony.
Ageing, Riserva and cellar potential
Brunello di Montalcino must age for a long time before release. According to the regulations, it is released only after several years of maturation, including mandatory ageing in oak casks and bottle refinement. The Riserva version benefits from even longer ageing, bringing additional depth and greater capacity for evolution.
Classic Brunello: a structured, deep and elegant wine designed to be appreciated after several years of maturation.
Brunello Riserva: a longer-aged selection, often made from the finest lots or great vintages, with additional depth.
Ageing potential: the finest Brunello wines can evolve for 10, 20 or 30 years, and sometimes longer depending on the vintage, producer and storage conditions.
Aromas and evolution of Brunello di Montalcino
When young, Brunello often shows beautiful fruit intensity, with notes of cherry, red fruits, dark fruits, spices and Mediterranean herbs. Its tannic structure and freshness give it great energy, as well as remarkable ageing potential.
With age, the wine develops more complex aromas of tobacco, leather, undergrowth, earth, truffle, sweet spices and balsamic notes. This gradual evolution makes Brunello di Montalcino one of Italy’s greatest wines for lovers of mature bottles and profound tastings.
