Winemaker Notes

The Brunelllo di Montalcino displays deep ruby red with garnet tinges that intensify with ageing. The wine exudes earthy and fruity aromas with bright raspberry and cherry notes accompanied with hints of spice, leather and minerality. Well-balanced with bright fruit and integrated tannin, this wine can be enjoyed now or laid down for aging.

Professional Ratings

    It offers earthy aromas of black berries, meat juices, Mediterranean herbs and a touch of leather. The juicy palate delivers ripe red cherry, black raspberry and black spices together with a mineral note on the close. Well balanced with firm, ripe tannins, it will develop complexity over time.

    Enrico Martellozzo's 2009 Brunello di Montalcino comes from a five-hectare vineyard located a stone-s throw away from the sun-drenched abbey at Castelnuovo dell'Abate. In line with the characteristics of this subzone that include darker more structured wines, Belpoggio-s rendition is deeply laden with ripe fruit, clove and baking spice. The wine does not boast huge complexity or any great degree of finesse, but it is a well-made expression with a friendly, upfront and immediate style that works well. This Brunello is built to drink within the next three to five years.

Among Italy's elite red grape varieties, Sangiovese has the perfect intersection of bright red fruit and savory earthiness and is responsible for the best red wines of Tuscany. While it is best known as the chief component of Chianti, it is also the main grape in Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and reaches the height of its power and intensity in the complex, long-lived Brunello di Montalcino. Somm Secret—Sangiovese doubles under the alias, Nielluccio, on the French island of Corsica where it produces distinctly floral and refreshing reds and rosés.

Famous for its bold, layered and long-lived red, Brunello di Montalcino, the town of Montalcino is about 70 miles south of Florence, and has a warmer and drier climate than that of its neighbor, Chianti. The Sangiovese grape is king here, as it is in Chianti, but Montalcino has its own clone called Brunello.

The Brunello vineyards of Montalcino blanket the rolling hills surrounding the village and fan out at various elevations, creating the potential for Brunello wines expressing different styles. From the valleys, where deeper deposits of clay are found, come wines typically bolder, more concentrated and rich in opulent black fruit. The hillside vineyards produce wines more concentrated in red fruits and floral aromas; these sites reach up to over 1,600 feet and have shallow soils of rocks and shale.

Brunello di Montalcino by law must be aged a minimum of four years, including two years in barrel before realease and once released, typically needs more time in bottle for its drinking potential to be fully reached. The good news is that Montalcino makes a “baby brother” version. The wines called Rosso di Montalcino are often made from younger vines, aged for about a year before release, offer extraordinary values and are ready to drink young.
