Description
What kind of wine it is
Pinino Brunello di Montalcino is a still red wine that clearly expresses the character of Sangiovese. In the glass, it displays an intense ruby red colour, a prelude to an aromatic profile marked by notes of blackberry and plum. On the palate, it is full and robust, with a rounded and smooth texture supported by an elegant structure and fine tannins. To fully appreciate its nuances, it is recommended to decant for one hour and serve at a temperature between 18 and 20°C, enhancing its ageing potential, estimated between ten and fifteen years.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in Montalcino, Tuscany, at the heart of the renowned Brunello di Montalcino denomination. Production is overseen by Pinino, a historic estate founded in 1874, now managed by the family of Ferruccio Ferragamo. The winery follows a strict sustainable approach, respecting the vocation of the land to enhance the natural qualities of the grapes. Its geographical identity is reflected in a style that delivers a flavour profile consistent and true to its Tuscan origins.
How it is produced
The production process begins with a rigorous manual harvest, carefully selecting the Sangiovese bunches destined for red vinification. The wine then undergoes a lengthy maturation of 30 months in oak barrels, a crucial stage for stabilising the organoleptic profile and defining its structural elegance. This process results in a balanced sip, harmoniously accompanying noble game, meat-based dishes, pork, and mature cheeses.
