Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG 2016 - La Lecciaia

The Brunello di Montalcino Riserva by Fattoria La Lecciaia is more than a wine; it is a sensorial journey through the essence of Tuscany and a tribute to Italian wine art. This oenological masterpiece, made entirely from Sangiovese grapes, has a ruby red color so intense as to be almost hypnotic. On the nose, it is a symphonic bouquet of ripe cherries, exotic spices and a delicate hint of violet that invites you to discover more. On the palate, each sip is an explosion of flavors: full-bodied, yet elegant; structured, but harmonious. The tannins are like pure silk, perfectly integrated into the wine and culminating in an aromatic persistence that seems to have no end. The refinement in oak barrels only elevates its complexity, adding nuances of cedar and tobacco that make it irresistible. This Brunello is the gastronomic companion you have always wanted, capable of elevating already exquisite dishes such as succulent roasts and rich, mature cheeses to an almost symphonic level of pleasure. It's not just a wine, it's an ode to greatness, an experience that will make you fall in love even more with the Italian wine tradition. Impossible to resist: let yourself be seduced.

Fattoria La Lecciaia was founded by Mauro Pacini in 1983 in Montalcino and covers 60 hectares, 15 of which are vineyards. At the beginning of the 2000s the family bought another property in Maremma in the Montecucco appellation, the company was then enriched by another 16 hectares of vineyards. The marvelous main cellar is always that of Montalcino set around the Manapetra vineyard from which the precious Cru produced by the company derives. The grapes are best valued thanks to careful and meticulous care during the vinification and the wine is subsequently embellished by years of aging in wood. The result is genuine wines that respect tradition with a modern imprint: structured reds with soft and velvety tannins over time, elegant fruity bouquets and remarkable and persistent palate.
