Sammicheli Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2019

Sammicheli Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2019

A classic and elegant Brunello from the historic wine region of Montalcino in Tuscany, made from 100% Sangiovese Grosso – the local grape that reaches its peak here. The 2019 vintage is considered an excellent vintage in the area, with wines that combine strength, finesse and longevity.

Grape variety: 100% Sangiovese Grosso
Alcohol content: Approximately 14.5%
Origin: Montalcino, Tuscany, Italy

Appearance

Deep ruby ​​red color that will develop towards garnet red hues with age.

Fragrance

Complex bouquet with ripe cherries, red plums and wild strawberries, elegantly complemented by dried herbs, leather, violet and a touch of tobacco and spices from the barrel aging.

Taste

Structured and powerful, yet refined. The palate offers ripe red fruits, a touch of forest floor, spices and subtle notes of vanilla and cedar. The tannins are firm but well integrated, and the acidity provides freshness and balance. The finish is long, deep and harmonious – a hallmark of great Brunello.

Storage and style

The wine is aged in large oak barrels for several years according to DOCG rules, which gives complexity without overpowering the grape's character.
Can be drunk now after an hour of aeration, but will develop beautifully for 10–15 years from the year of harvest.

Serving

• Serve at 17–18°C in large glasses.

• Matches perfectly with hearty dishes such as game, braised beef, lamb, mushroom dishes and well-aged cheeses.
