Descrizione

The Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG 2012 by Podere Casisano is an elegant expression of the classic Sangiovese grape, carefully cultivated in the heart of Tuscany, among the gentle hills of Montalcino. This wine, the result of careful selection and long aging, is distinguished by its complex structure and refined character.

On the nose, intense aromas of ripe cherry, tobacco, and light spicy notes open up, blending with hints of damp earth and undergrowth. On the palate, the sip is full and enveloping, with silky tannins and a pleasant minerality that imparts elegance and longevity. The long aging in oak barrels helps to smooth the structure and add aromatic depth.

Perfect paired with game roasts, red meats, and aged cheeses, this Brunello represents a refined synthesis of the Montalcino territory and Tuscan winemaking tradition.

Winery history

The property is located in the southeast of Montalcino and, according to the official website, is set on an estate that overlooks the surrounding valley. The producer’s public description emphasizes the importance of the location and the differing ages of the vineyards in defining the style of the wines; the website does not state an explicit founding date.

Production philosophy

Production focused on expressing the terroir: high-altitude vineyard care, careful grape selection and extended aging of Brunello in Slavonian oak barrels to showcase the structure, acidity and longevity typical of Sangiovese di Montalcino.

Terroir and vineyards

The estate sits on a natural terrace at 480 metres above sea level on the hills southeast of Montalcino; the soil is described as predominantly galestro, with clay and limestone, which, together with the diurnal temperature range, influence the ripening and the aromatic profile of the grapes.

Awards and recognitions

Numerous notable scores for the Brunello di Montalcino. The winery also reports awards and recognitions such as a Platinum at the Merano WineFestival and international medals/awards for recent vintages.
