Brunello di Montalcino

Brunello di Montalcino is one of Italy’s most prestigious and age-worthy red wines, produced exclusively from 100% Sangiovese grapes—locally known as Brunello—grown in the Montalcino region of southern Tuscany. Recognized as a DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita), Brunello di Montalcino is renowned for its power, elegance, and exceptional longevity. The region’s warm, dry climate and well-drained soils allow for the full ripening of Sangiovese, resulting in wines with intense flavors of dark cherry, leather, spice, and earthy undertones. Strict production regulations require a minimum of five years of aging—including at least two years in oak and four months in bottle—before release, giving the wine its signature depth and complexity. Known for its structure and ability to age for decades, Brunello di Montalcino represents the pinnacle of traditional Tuscan winemaking and is celebrated worldwide for its purity and sense of place.
