What kind of wine it is

Brunello di Montalcino by Geografico is a structured red wine made from pure Sangiovese Grosso grapes. In the glass, it stands out for its full and bold character, supported by a pronounced tannic structure and defined fruity aromas. Aging in wood lends it a deep and consistent profile, conveying the authentic essence of its terroir. It is a rigorous expression, designed for those who prefer wines with character.

Where it comes from

This Brunello di Montalcino originates in the namesake wine-growing area, a historically significant region for this grape variety. The vines sink their roots into a clay-sandy soil, a key natural element delivering solidity and color retention to the wine. The direct relationship between Sangiovese Grosso and this earthy substrate ensures a solid and substantial palate. The identity of this label is strongly linked to the intense flavors determined by the local slopes.

How it is produced

Production is based on a traditional red wine vinification, calibrated for optimal and precise extraction. Following fermentation, the wine matures for twenty-two months in oak barrels and barriques, a crucial phase for softening the tannic profile and enriching the aromatic bouquet. Once the evolution in wood is complete, the wine undergoes a further two-month bottle aging, necessary to stabilize the overall balance of the tasting experience.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it immediately grabs attention with its intense ruby red color, a sign of excellent extraction concentration. The nose reveals a bouquet of pronounced fruity aromas, clear and recognizable, anticipating the tasting. On the palate, it is immediately substantial and enveloping, guided by rich and well-present tannins resulting from skillful use of oak. The persistence accompanies the finish in perfect harmony with the olfactory impact.

Pairings

Its notable structure and firm tannins make it a natural choice for red meat main courses. Slow-cooked and succulent meats find their perfect counterpart in its dry and persistent sip. It is equally suited to enhancing aged cheeses, precisely balancing their savory component. The vibrant fruity profile ensures harmony during meals with intensely flavored and savory dishes.

When to serve

This label is the ideal option to enrich a table set with hearty and complete meals. The measured aging in oak and resting in glass lend it a structural stability perfect for important gatherings. The precise integration between the fruity exuberance and solid body invites attentive tasting, rewarding every occasion where a characterful tasting with clear and long-lasting features is required.
