Description

Discover the soul of Tuscany with the Piccini Brunello di Montalcino 2020, a wine that embodies over 140 years of family tradition and oenological passion. Produced by the historic Tenute Piccini, this prestigious DOCG wine is crafted from 100% Sangiovese grapes, hand-harvested from the sun-drenched, limestone-rich hillsides of Montalcino.

In the glass, it reveals a profound ruby red color with sophisticated garnet reflections. The nose is greeted by a complex and elegant bouquet where ripe red fruit, particularly cherries and plums, harmonize with spicy undertones, earthy notes of tobacco, and a subtle touch of fine oak. On the palate, this Brunello is a masterclass in balance and structure; it is powerful yet velvety, with well-integrated tannins that promise excellent aging potential.

This wine is the quintessential companion for an elevated dining experience. Its robust character and lingering finish make it a perfect pairing for hearty, traditional Tuscan fare, such as Bistecca alla Fiorentina, slow-cooked wild boar ragù, or rich game dishes. It also shines when served alongside aged hard cheeses like Parmigiano Reggiano or Pecorino Toscano. To fully appreciate its depth, we recommend decanting the wine for at least an hour before serving at 18°C. Whether you are celebrating a special occasion or simply savoring a quiet evening, the Piccini Brunello di Montalcino invites you to experience the vibrant energy and timeless elegance of the Italian wine family.
