Brunello di Montalcino Anno Domini 1441 2015 Castello Tricerchi

Variety: Sangiovese 100%

Ruby red color tending to garnet

On the palate it is intensely rich in ripe red fruit, with strawberry and cherry. Followed by some more complex notes of toasted, dry undergrowth, with dry leaves and chestnuts. The candied orange peels sneak between the rich and varied notes of spices. Without doubt excellent.

On the palate it has an excellent balance between material and structure. The complexity that emanates is very deep, with an enveloping and decidedly structured ensemble. The hot vintage gave value to the softness, although the tannins in great dust and minerality, give pleasure and elegance to the sip. Once swallowed, aromas of cherry, undergrowth and black pepper arrive.

Brunello di Montalcino anno domini is produced exclusively in vintages considered excellent. The confirmation comes from the tasting, because it is a truly excellent wine, witness of constant company growth.

It is an extremely effective accompaniment to grilled meat and vegetables, both mixed, such as the classic Fiorentina.
