Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Riserva 2019 Terre Nere

What type of wine it is

Brunello di Montalcino Riserva by Terre Nere is a Tuscan red wine made from Sangiovese Grosso grapes, a variety that finds its fullest expression in this territory. The style is full-bodied and structured, with an elegant and complex profile supported by fine, persistent tannins. Careful vinification and lengthy aging in wood and in the bottle give this wine a profound balance and a strong inclination to evolve over time.

Where it comes from

This wine originates in the renowned area of Montalcino, Tuscany, from vineyards at an altitude of 280 meters. The south-eastern exposure favors steady and consistent ripening of the grapes. The soils, predominantly composed of dark galestro and sandstone, are characteristic matrices of this territory. These soil and climate features significantly contribute to shaping a wine glass with good structure and notable gustatory precision, reflecting the region's strong winemaking tradition.

How it is produced

The harvest is conducted carefully by hand to select the best bunches directly in the vineyard. Fermentation in stainless steel includes a forty-day maceration on the skins, an essential step to support tannin extraction and definition in the must. The process continues with four years of maturation in oak barrels, followed by further prolonged bottle aging. This deliberate sequence integrates aromatic complexity and final balance.

Tasting notes

To the eye, it boasts a bright, vivid garnet color. The aroma profile is intricate, opening with clear notes of ripe red fruit that gradually give way to intense tobacco undertones and delicate hints of sweet spices. On the palate, it is full and enveloping, driven by fine and persistent tannins that define a solid sip. The flavor progression culminates in a long, rounded finish, consistent with the extended time spent in barrels.

Food pairings

Ideal for accompanying hearty dishes, this red enhances preparations based on braised red meats, grilled meats, and important roasts. The wine’s intense texture makes it perfect with aged cheeses with bold flavors. Its structure pairs well with traditional Tuscan recipes and especially shines with long-cooked dishes, where the lingering aromas balance the juiciness of flavorful meats.

When to serve it

Recommended for important lunches or dinners centered around meat dishes. Thanks to its long maturation in barrels, it already presents a harmonious profile while retaining remarkable potential for aging over the years. It is the right choice for occasions that call for a wine with a long and balanced finish, as it can be savored slowly to appreciate every nuance in the glass.
