Brunello wine, Italy's ruby-colored jewel from Tuscany

Brunello di Montalcino is one of Italy's most prized and beloved wines, made from ancient Tuscan vines. For centuries, the Brunello vineyards have produced some of the world's most remarkable flavors, producing a beautiful ruby-colored elixir that is unique in character and complexity. From its earliest days, Brunello di Montalcino has been highly praised and coveted by wine lovers across the globe. During the Renaissance period, it was hailed as a 'miraculous drink of kings' due to its robust flavor profile and high alcohol content. The reputation continues to this day - Brunello di Montalcino is recognized for being full-bodied and extremely pleasant to enjoy.  

History of our products

The origins of Brunello di Montalcino can be traced back to the late 19th century when a local farmer named Ferruccio Biondi-Santi began producing a unique style of wine using the Sangiovese grape. This grape variety was particularly suited to the region's climate and soil, resulting in wines with intense aroma and flavor. Over the years, Brunello di Montalcino gained a reputation for excellence and was eventually awarded DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita) status in 1980.

Brunello di Montalcino, a timeless journey through tradition and taste

The winemaking process involves traditional techniques dating back centuries, skillfully used to bring out the very best qualities of this exquisite wine. After fermentation, the barrel-aged Brunello spends at least two years in oak barrels before being bottled without any filtration. This ensures that each bottle retains all the nuances that make it so special: an intense aroma of ripe fruits with hints of spice; a deep ruby red color; powerful yet balanced tannins; and finally a lingering finish accented with vanilla notes. Brunello wine will captivate your senses wherever you enjoy it - whether at home in front of an open fire or among friends in a busy restaurant. Every sip reveals something new, making it an adventurous journey into Italian cuisine every time you take a bottle off the cork. With more than 100 years of history behind its production, Brunello di Montalcino truly stands as an eternal testament to excellent craftsmanship and skillful viticulture - now and well into the future!
