More questions
The Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG 2017 from Podere Casisano represents the excellence of the Tuscan winemaking tradition, born from rigorously selected Sangiovese grapes in the hills of Montalcino. This vintage in magnum format develops a complex and enveloping bouquet, where notes of ripe cherry intertwine with hints of sweet spices, tobacco, and a slight touch of leather, a refined expression of the unique territory where it originates.
The long aging, typical of the riservas, takes place in oak barrels that confer structure and depth, ensuring a perfect balance between soft tannins and lively freshness. On the palate, it is elegant and persistent, with a finish that recalls its terroir roots and invites thoughtful tastings. Ideal to pair with red meats, game, or aged cheeses, it is a wine that tells the passion and care of Podere Casisano for the Brunello di Montalcino.
