Made entirely from Sangiovese sourced from the cooperative’s network of small growers across all four sides of the Montalcino hill, it offers a broad and authentic expression of the region’s terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMakuprofiili\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, it shows a light garnet-red color, already hinting at its elegance and refinement. The nose is inviting and layered, with notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, cherry, a touch of vanilla, earthy undertones, and aromatic wood.\n\nOn the palate, the wine has excellent depth and presence, with pure fruit, supple tannins, and a beautifully balanced acidity that keeps everything lifted and precise. It is a distinctly Italian style of finesse rather than power, and it has the structure to develop gracefully for the next 20 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViininvalmistus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Sangiovese fruit comes from 94 small growers cultivating 160 hectares spread across Montalcino, at elevations ranging from around 120 to 650 meters above sea level. The vineyards’ wide geographic spread helps create balance and consistency from vintage to vintage, while hand harvesting ensures careful selection of the fruit. Fermentation is overseen by winemakers Paolo Vaggini and Riccardo Pucci over 20 days, followed by 30 months of maturation in Slovenian oak casks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRuoka \u0026amp; tarjoilu\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Brunello is a natural match for roasted red meats, game, slow-braised dishes, truffle pasta, and mature hard cheeses.
