Gianni Brunelli’s Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2019 is a work of winemaking art, a pure Sangiovese that elevates Montalcino’s heritage to new heights. Harvested from the prized Olmo vineyard in Podernovone, on galestro soils at 500 meters above sea level, this intense garnet red releases a complex bouquet of berries, lavender, sweet tobacco and oriental spices. Aged for 36 months in Slavonian barrels, it offers a rich and layered palate, with velvety tannins, a commanding structure and a lingering mineral finish. Ideal with game or characterful red meats, this Riserva is a connoisseur’s treasure, a wine that promises to evolve magnificently for decades.
