Montalcino sits south of Siena, warmer and drier than Chianti, and its Sangiovese — called Brunello here — ripens into something far more powerful. Depth without heaviness is the signature — concentration carried by acidity rather than sheer weight. Tuscany is Sangiovese country, from everyday Chianti to the long-lived reds of Montalcino and the Cabernet-influenced blends of the coast. Bottled by Nannetti from the 2020 harvest. Decant an hour ahead. Serve with bistecca, wild boar ragù, or aged pecorino.
