La Palazzetta Brunello di Montalcino

$54.00

Vintage: 2020

Grape: Sangiovese

Region: Tuscany, Italy

Appellation: Siena, Montalcino

Soils: Limestone rich in stone marl

Climate: Mild Mediterranean

Farming: Organic, careful selection and hand harvesting.

Winemaking: Controlled fermentation and maceration of about 20 days with indigenous yeasts.

This is Sangiovese at its happiest. The Fanti family manages every part of the harvesting and fermentation for their 40 hectares by hand; no else is involved! Their philosophy is to intervene as minimally as possible in the cellar. 

The lower elevation vineyards result in a warmer terroir, lending structure and power in the wines. 

The care and craftsmanship really shines through with this wine. For my taste, it’s worth the splurge.
