BRUNELLO ST. RESTITUTA DOP

The vines are planted near Montalcino at elevations of up to around 350 metres on clay-rich, gravelly soils. Traditional skin contact takes place for around three weeks in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks; the wine then matures for 24 months in 500-litre oak casks and for a further twelve months in bottle. In style, it shows cherry, elderberry and aromatic herbs, along with ripe, well-integrated tannins, balanced richness, firm structure and a long finish. The information on maturation and tasting is taken from merchants’ documents; the price refers to an available Swiss offer for the 2020 vintage.
