Brunello di Montalcino (DOC) - Wine from Tuscany, Italy
Brunello di Montalcino is a prestigious appellation located in the wine 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 matured for over five years, with at least two years in oak barrels. The region's clay-rich and calcareous soils, along with its temperate climate, foster the production of elegant and complex wines. Brunello di Montalcino offers aromas of black cherry, tobacco, vanilla, and undergrowth, with a robust tannic structure and a lingering finish.
