Garnet colour with orange hues that become more intense over time. Intense scent of red fruit and violets. The taste is full, wide and velvety with a finish of spices and a hint of vanilla. Piedmont is also famous for its white truffles, great meat, hearty stews, cheeses and all sorts of chestnut and hazelnut tortes. Barolo is suited to complement these substantial flavours.

To be uncorked and decanted at least one hour before tasting.


29 - Brunello di Montacino DOCG   €120

Young Brunello: Imagine a smart, somewhat cocky, flamboyant, young brunette. This is young Brunello. Wines are packed with fruit and flower flavours including cherries, dried cranberry, wild strawberry, blackberry, violets, potpourri and liquorice. When you taste it, Brunello di Montalcino exudes earthy notes of espresso and tilled soil along with mouth-gripping tannins. It's a bold wine but because of the high acidity it ends on a tart, astringent note that will have you licking the insides of your mouth. This astringency is why most wine experts suggest a drink-by window several years after its release date.

Old Brunello: Now that the wine has aged and been softened by time our Brunello is more ravishing than ever. With 10+ years of age, Brunello di Montalcino drops the fresh fruit flavours to reveal sweeter notes of dried figs, candied cherries, hazelnuts and sun-baked leather. The tannins turn chocolaty and the acidity is succulent.
