Tasting note
Colour & Appearance
Intense ruby red with violet reflections.
Nose
A profound, classic Sangiovese profile: aromas of black cherries, barberries, raspberries and blood oranges combine with mint, cedar and dried violet flowers. Spicy nuances of cinnamon, vanilla, cherry stones as well as cool, crushed stone, undergrowth and fallen leaves impart a noble complexity to the nose.
Palate
On the palate, this Brunello reveals itself to be dense, juicy and exceptionally supple. The ripe fruit of sweet red and dark berries meets a firm tannic and acid structure typical of the grape variety. Notes of bread spices, quatre épices and shady foliage ensure the perfect balance between elegance and down-to-earth authenticity.
Finish
Mouth-coating and of impressive length, characterized by delicate hints of liquorice and candied orange zest.
Terroir & Origin
The grapes originate from Col d’Orcia’s south-facing sites at around 300 metres above sea level, overlooking the Orcia River. As the largest certified organic winery in Tuscany, the Marone Cinzano family cultivates this historic cultural landscape within the UNESCO World Heritage site of the Val d’Orcia in harmony with nature.
Grape Variety & Vinification
Varietal Sangiovese. Following manual harvesting and strict selection, the must ferments on the skins for around 15 days in specially designed steel tanks. Traditional maturation lasts four years, during which the wine spends 32 months in large Slavonian and Allier oak botti, followed by one year of bottle ageing.
Food Pairings
Pairs exquisitely with braised beef brisket, classic Bistecca alla Fiorentina, wild boar ragout or aged Pecorino.
Special Features
Classic Brunello style in an impressive 5000ml large-format bottle. The combination of organic viticulture and traditional ageing in large wooden casks guarantees enormous ageing potential and a timeless aesthetic.
