Tenuta Col dOrcia Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, 2019

Pure and refined Brunello di Montalcino DOCG

"Deep to dark ruby red in colour. Deep, brooding and backward on the nose, but with real precision. Lots of juicy red fruit and impressive, fine-grained tannins. Still a little embryonic, but already hard to resist. Pure class."

STORY BEHIND THE WINE

The 2019 vintage benefited from a mild winter, a cool and rainy spring, and a balanced summer with sufficient water reserves, allowing for slow and even grape ripening. Carefully selected Sangiovese clones were hand-harvested with rigorous quality control, yielding 69 q/ha, well below the permitted limit. Fermentation lasted 18-20 days at controlled temperatures in custom-designed stainless steel tanks to ensure delicate yet efficient tannin and color extraction. The wine then aged for four years, including 32 months in large Slavonian and Allier oak casks, followed by at least 12 months of bottle refinement, resulting in a perfectly balanced and expressive vintage.
