Descrizione

The Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2012 from Podere Casisano represents a perfect expression of the Tuscan territory, characterized by the characteristic vineyards located on the gentle hills of Montalcino, in the province of Siena. This wine is made from the Sangiovese Grosso grape, which provides structure and aristocratic complexity, enhanced by a long aging in large oak barrels, which softens the tannins and gives elegance.

In the glass, it presents an intense ruby red color, enriched by garnet reflections due to aging. The nose releases rich notes of ripe red fruits, cherry and plum, accompanied by delicate spicy hints and polished tobacco. On the palate, it shows a soft but firm texture, with a balance between acidity and tannins that anticipates a long potential evolution over time.

Perfect with braised red meats, game and aged cheeses, this Brunello di Montalcino embodies the elegance and tradition of excellent Italian wine.

Terroir and vineyards
