BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO D.O.C.G. 2000

2000 at last!!! This extraordinary vintage gave our vines a chance to illustrate the way in which terroir and microclimate combine each year in an unique manner, creating marked taste sensations and bouquet that clearly corroborate each particular combination of these two elements.

A dry and torrid August resulted in a high level of alcohol and a less distinctive colour than usual.

The work in the cellar, which, with Sangiovese grapes is particularly important in order to extract the best from each harvest, was not difficult and the final result will give wine lovers a very pleasant wine to put in the cellar and enjoy after a good period of bottle ageing.

The powerful alcoholic component is immediately evident on the nose and provides a forewarning of the strong structure, characterised by very pronounced tannins that are individual to this harvest and place 2000 high in the ranks of great quality vintages.
