100% Sangiovese from the Tuscan town of Montalcino. The grapes comes from the historic Madonna vineyard located under the Madonna delle Grazie chapel, and is aged in quintal oak barrels for 41 months.

Brunello di Montalcino is one of the great under-appreciated wines of Italy. 100% Sangiovese which undergoes an extended period of pre-fermentation maceration to extract maximum colour, flavour and tannins which affords the wine its ability to mature for long periods.  Brunello di Montalcino must be aged in oak - commonly Slavonian oak - for a minimum of 2 years, though traditionally winemakers would age their Brunellos in oak for at least 3 years prior to release.

This is a 5 litre bottle. Large-format bottles are great for extended ageing periods due to the wine's slower rate of maturation.
