Brunello di Montalcino d.o.c.g. Annata 2015: This is the absolute pinnacle or “cherry” of our winemaking skills, produced with grapes from the oldest vines, all at least 40 years old, enhanced by a terrain that is low in fertility but maximises concentration. The wine is named after one of the two cherry trees on either side of the vines, a magnificent specimen that identifies the vineyard from a considerable distance. Our top cru, le grand vin de La Màgia. Only a very limited quantity of numbered bottles of this precious Brunello is released onto the market. With its freshness and complexity, this wine has pronounced mineral undertones. A statement of concentration and elegance that only the Sangiovese grape can deliver, when grown in its ideal environment.
