Description
The private Brunello wine tour is a wine tour in Tuscany, south of Siena.
The Brunello wine is a special red wine also for its longevity: you can store a bottle of Brunello wine even for 100 years! if you care to keep in the best condition, though.
As you have already guessed or tasted, the Brunello wine is a full-bodied wine, structured and complex, but at the same time elegant, fragrant and persistent.
It is not drunk until 5 years after the harvest, although, even 5 years still isn’t really enough for this wine.
This region also produces Rosso di Montalcino, which is considered as the younger brother of Brunello, made from the same grapes as Brunello, but only a year old. It is a pleasant wine; lighter, but less complex.
Meeting Point: Piazza dei Cavalleggeri, Florence. See the map
