Allow me to present to you this great wine, an expression of the Italian tradition and culture. Maybe you can have a chance to taste it during the Christmas holidays.Montalcino is a small town in Tuscany. The region’s farmers have made wine for centuries. Sangiovese grape provides a superior variety, carefully handled and extra-aged superior wine.

Market success began in the 1960s when regulations in Italy gave quality a chance. Brunello became the first of the elevated DOCG wines in 1980. The wine is superb, but of course it is not cheap. Prices can vary from 25 Euro up to 60 Euro and more depending on many factors. Brunello usually is aged for a total of up to five years, including a minimum of two years in oak barriques. With a ruby-red color complemented by a rich bouquet, Brunello di Montalcino is a wine of robust character. It possesses a depth and complexity softened by an elegant, lingering aftertaste.
