Elegant organic Brunello di Montalcino from Cordella. This Brunello is made from Sangiovese grapes from old vines that have between 25-35 years behind them. The fields wind their way over the east-facing slopes of southern Montalcino at an altitude of approximately 250-300 metres. The grapes are harvested at the beginning of October, after which the grapes ferment for 18 days. The wine then ages for 28 months in oak casks (25 hl), after which it is bottled for a further 6 months before release. The wine is characteristic, intense with a lightly perfumed scent of forest floor, wood, wild berries and vanilla. The wine finishes with a long and persistent finish combined with soft tannins. A robust and elegant wine that goes perfectly with traditional Italian cuisine. A wine with great storage potential.
