Discover the esteemed world of Brunello di Montalcino, where every sip evokes “lacrime di gioia” — tears of joy. This revered Tuscan red, particularly the exceptional 2010 vintage, holds a celebrated spot among the world’s finest wines, commanding both respect and a high market value for its unmatched quality.
Brunello di Montalcino: A DOCG Treasure
Nestled in the heart of Tuscany, the Brunello di Montalcino area is distinguished by its DOCG status, confining its production to the picturesque landscapes surrounding the village of Montalcino. Situated southwest of Siena, within the Val d’Orcia’s idyllic confines, Montalcino benefits from a warm, dry climate that sets the perfect stage for the early ripening of its grapes. Despite its compact size, the region’s diverse microclimates have sparked discussions about introducing subdivisions to more accurately reflect each Brunello’s origin.
Unveiling the Craft of Brunello Wine
Crafted exclusively from 100% Sangiovese grapes, Brunello di Montalcino stands apart in Tuscany’s viticultural panorama. This varietal, the cornerstone of not only Brunello but also Chianti and Nobile di Montepulciano, undergoes a meticulous maceration and aging process that culminates in a wine of unparalleled depth and structure. With its robust flavors of blackberry, cherry, leather, and dark chocolate, Brunello di Montalcino offers a taste experience that transcends its Tuscan counterparts, promising a perfect pairing with rich meats and traditional Florentine dishes.
