What kind of wine is it

Brunello di Montalcino by Fattoria La Lecciaia is a structured red wine made from Sangiovese grapes. This Tuscan interpretation presents itself with an elegant style, marked by a complex aromatic profile and a defined tannic texture. Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled steel vats, followed by maturation in Slavonian oak barrels and a calibrated bottle ageing. The technical approach guarantees a harmonious and long-lived result, faithfully introducing the origin and the production method of the appellation.

Where it comes from

The grapes come from the vineyards of Montalcino owned by Fattoria La Lecciaia, an area renowned for Tuscan viticulture. The local climate and soils offer balance and a perfect framework for long ageing. The hillside position defines the identity of Brunello di Montalcino, ensuring finesse and an expressive continuity that reflects the unique features of the region, resulting in a glass with great territorial character.

How it is produced

Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled steel vats for 15-20 days, with frequent pump-overs to promote the extraction of colour and tannins. The wine then rests in Slavonian oak barrels, a key stage to consolidate its structure. The process ends with a period of bottle ageing, necessary to integrate the flavours and refine the aromatic profile, ensuring stability and harmony over time.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it displays an intense ruby red colour with vivid garnet highlights. The bouquet is enveloping, led by ripe wild berries, sweet spices, and delicate floral hints. On the palate, it is broad, dry and warm, with a dense tannic texture that prolongs the finish. The balance between freshness and warmth enhances the depth of flavour, ending with a persistent and consistent finish.

Food pairings

It pairs effortlessly with grilled red meats, game, and aged cheeses, thanks to its solid tannic component. It is ideal with game dishes such as braised wild boar, or alongside an aged pecorino, where the cheese’s savoury notes accentuate the wine’s harmonious and balanced character.

When to serve it

Perfect to accompany dishes with a strong profile, this red wine elevates convivial occasions that call for wines of evident structure. The journey through steel, wood, and glass cements its aptitude for ageing, allowing it to be enjoyed even after several years of rest. The harmony between freshness and tannin assures excellent taste continuity throughout the meal, offering a structured and elegant tasting experience over time.
