The Brunello di Montalcino DOCG "Fortezza" from the Cantina di Montalcino is an oenological jewel that embodies the excellence and tradition of the Montalcino area, an area renowned for its red wines of extraordinary longevity and complexity. The Montalcino winery, with its profound knowledge and respect for the land and the Sangiovese vine, has created in "Fortezza" a Brunello that stands out for its elegance, power and finesse.
Visually, the wine has an intense garnet red color, indicative of its structure and intensity. On the nose, "Fortezza" reveals a complex and layered bouquet, with notes of ripe red fruit, in particular cherry and plum, followed by nuances of tobacco, leather, chocolate and an elegant background of spices and oak, the result of a long and careful aging in wooden barrels.
In the mouth, Brunello di Montalcino "Fortezza" expresses a controlled power, with silky and well-integrated tannins that blend into a robust and full body. The acidity is lively, helping to keep the wine fresh and dynamic on the palate. The finish is long and persistent, with a return of fruity and spicy notes that invite a new tasting.
Perfect in combination with rich and structured dishes, such as roasts, braised meats, game and mature cheeses, Brunello di Montalcino "Fortezza" is also a meditation wine, which evolves and reveals itself in the glass, offering a profound and memorable tasting experience .
