Castello Tricerchi Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2018

Beautiful and elegant Brunello di Montalcino.

Hand harvested in mid-September 2018.

The vineyards, which consist of a mixture of clay and sand, lie at an altitude of approx. 300 m with a south-westerly exposure. The age of the fields is approx. 25 years and yields a yield of 6 tonnes of grapes per hectare, or equivalent to approx. 1.5 kg. per plant.

All picking takes place by hand and vinification takes place in stainless tanks at a controlled temperature of 23 degrees for 30 days. Malolactic fermentation continues for five months, after which the wine is aged in large Slavonian oak casks of 15-20 hectoliters for 24 months. The wines are then aged for at least 8 months in the bottle before release.

The grapes from the single field AD 1441 are included in this Brunello 2018.

25,000 bottles of this vintage have been produced.

The color is a nice clear ruby ​​red.

The aroma is full of ripe cherries and citrus with a touch of sweet spices and dark earthy notes.

The taste is nicely structured with perfectly balanced tannins. Nice long and intense taste.

Enjoy it together with well-prepared food, preferably delicious dishes with meat.
