Brunello di Montalcino (DOC) - Wine from Tuscany, Italy
Brunello di Montalcino is a prestigious appellation located in the wine-producing region of Tuscany, Italy. This iconic red wine is made exclusively from the Sangiovese Grosso grape variety, locally known as "Brunello," which thrives on the hills surrounding the village of Montalcino.
The DOC Brunello di Montalcino appellation is renowned for its age-worthy wines, often aged for more than five years, with at least two years in oak barrels. The region's clay-rich and calcareous soils, along with its temperate climate, contribute to the production of elegant and complex wines. Brunello di Montalcino features aromas of black cherry, tobacco, vanilla, and forest floor, with a robust tannic structure and a lingering finish.
