Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

With an intense ruby red color, this Brunello di Montalcino is robust and complex with aromas of berries, violets and spices layered with notes of wood and vanilla. Dry and warm, this wine is elegantly balanced with a long and sustained finish.

Brunello di Montalcino is a wine that stands up to savory fares such as entrecôte, polenta with mushrooms, and wild game such as boar and pheasant. It also pairs particularly well with white truffle and mature cheeses.

Professional Ratings

  • 93
    Sturdy, chalky tannins and a woodsy entry, with aromas of dried violets. Beet root, pennyroyal, vanilla, and red cherry create an elegant effect on the palate. A bright, vivacious personality with keen acidity.

Guinigi, Italy
The verdant valleys and hills of northern Italy are beloved for their rich culture and wonderfully nuanced wines. Here, you will find la Torre Guinigi, rising over an ancient city, adorned with distinctive holm oaks. Our family roots run deep in this storied land, and we honor that heritage with Guinigi wines. Like the oak trees that symbolize strength, beauty and renewal, it is our belief that each new vintage will inspire a sense of awe in you.

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.

Montalcino Wine

Tuscany, Italy

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.
