Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

With a ruby red color with light garnet reflection, La Llecciaia’s Brunello Di Montalcino offers a complex burst of cocoa, tobacco and blueberry leading to the typical Sangiovese profile dominated by violet and cherries and framed by smooth spices. This full bodied and concentrated wine has a lively acidity that is balanced by a nice softness while the persistent mouth coating tannins provide a long and clean aftertaste.

This wine deserves a “Solo” tasting, displaying all its qualities as a meditation wine at a temperature of 18-20°C.cNevertheless it is the perfect pairing partner of well structured and complex red meat and game dishes. Easy and always good pairings with seasoned and structured cheeses.

Professional Ratings

  • 93

    Aromas of cherries and hints of orange peel follow through to a full body, round and chewy tannins and a rich and flavorful finish. Tannic yet soft and round. Concentrated character. Needs two or three years to come completely together.

Purchased by Mr. Mauro Pacini in 1983 and upgraded with the most advanced winemaking installations, Fattoria la Lecciaia is a wine estate that combines a young, dynamic approach to the wine business, while strictly adhering to the antique traditions of Brunello di Montalcino. Located in "località Vallafrico" and surrounded by the vineyards of some of the most iconic estates of the area, the estate is in the center of the original micro-terroir where the world-famous Brunello di Montalcino was first produced. Fattoria La Lecciaia is a beautiful property of 60 hectares surrounded by the vineyards of some of the oldest and most renowned estates of Montalcino. The estate has 15 hectares of vineyards, of which 12 are registered for the production of Brunello di Montalcino. The rest of the property is under olives groves and woodlands. The unique terroir of this small but world-famous micro-area in the appellation of Montalcino, naturally enhances the scents and the elegance of Sangiovese grapes, allowing Fattoria la Lecciaia to produce the most quintessential "Brunello di Montalcino" wines: classic and intense, suited for long ageing.
