Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG
Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG 2017 from La Fornace is an outstanding wine that is characterized by its deep ruby red color with brilliant garnet reflections. Its bouquet is rich and intense, with notes of wild berries, dark cherries, plums, violets, spices and a touch of vanilla. On the palate, it has a luxurious structure with deep, complex aromas, balanced acidity and silky, smooth tannins. The wine is powerful and elegant, with remarkable length and depth
.This wine consists of 100% Sangiovese Grosso, a grape variety known for its strong aromas and high acidity, which gives it a high storage potential. The vines grow on galestro-rich soils in Montalcino, which
gives the wine its characteristic minerality.A special feature of this wine is its long aging period: 36 months in oak barrels and a further 24 months in the bottle. This gives it exceptional depth and complexity. The 2017 vintage was characterized by variable weather conditions, but late rains allowed the grapes to ripen well, resulting in a smaller but high-quality harvest
.Riserva status means that the wine has aged longer than normal Brunello wines, giving it extra complexity and depth. Long-lasting and structured wines with a high storage potential are typical of the Montalcino wine-growing zone
