More questions
Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2011 - Podere Casisano is a wine of great elegance, an authentic expression of the Tuscan territory. Made exclusively from Sangiovese grosso grapes grown in the vineyards located on the hills of Montalcino, this Brunello patiently ages for at least four years, including a minimum of two in oak barrels, giving it complexity and structure.
In the glass, it shows an intense ruby color, while on the nose it releases aromas of ripe cherry, sweet spices, tobacco, and light balsamic hints. On the palate, it is enveloping, with silky tannins that caress the mouth, supported by a pleasant acidity that ensures freshness and longevity. The finish is persistent and slightly savory.
Perfect with rich dishes such as roasted red meats, game, and aged cheeses, this Brunello strongly tells the story of Montalcino’s wine-making tradition and the passion of Podere Casisano.
