CROCEDIMEZZO
ESTATE
BRUNELLO DI
MONTALCINO D.O.C.G. 2004
The extraordinary vintage 2004 of the CROCEDIMEZZO Brunello, owing to the particular vocation of this Estate inspired by a close respect for tradition, will be an occasion for tasting a wine of admirable quality evoking distant memories closely tied to the territory. Excellent weather conditions with the right alternating of sun and rain, together with a diminished production per hectare, enabled us to take to the winery perfect grapes that produced a wine of great structure, characterized by highly pronounced and complex tannins.
The period of aging in the cellar, that took place in a traditional manner, with the use of Slavonian and Allier oak barrels of medium dimensions (25 and 32 hectolitres), enhanced its exceptional quality.
A vintage to be kept in the cellar to enjoy without rush.
