Cava D'Onice adheres to a traditional method, where the Sangiovese grapes are carefully selected and handpicked. After the harvest, the wine undergoes a maturation period in oak barrels lasting at least four years, an essential requirement to achieve the Brunello di Montalcino DOCG designation. This extended aging confers a robust structure and a complexity of aromas that make it a unique product.
Upon tasting, the Brunello from Cava D'Onice is notable for its intense ruby-red color, with garnet reflections as it ages. On the nose, it presents a complex bouquet, with notes of ripe red fruit, fine spices, and a faint hint of vanilla and tobacco, deriving from the wood aging. On the palate, it shows great elegance and power, with well-balanced tannins and a long, satisfying aromatic persistence.
This wine is ideal to accompany rich dishes, such as red meats, game, and aged cheeses. Its extraordinary aging capacity also makes it a perfect candidate for cellar storage, where it can evolve elegantly for many years.
Overall, the Brunello di Montalcino DOCG by Sensis from Cava D'Onice is a true treasure for wine enthusiasts looking for a tasting experience deeply rooted in the Italian wine tradition, with a keen eye for quality and finesse. A must-have for any collector wishing to have a bottle representative of the nobility of Montalcino's Sangiovese in their cellar.
