WINE DESCRIPTION
Contemassi Brunello di Montalcino is a premium red wine produced by the Contemassi winery in the Brunello di Montalcino appellation of Tuscany, Italy. The vineyards are situated at an altitude of 300-400 meters above sea level, with south-facing slopes that receive ample sunlight. The winery uses traditional winemaking techniques, including hand-harvesting and aging the wine in large old oak barrels for at least two years. The resulting wine is a classic Brunello di Montalcino, with a deep ruby color, intense aromas of red fruit and spices, and a full-bodied, complex flavor profile with firm tannins and a long finish. It is a perfect wine to pair with hearty meat dishes or aged cheeses.
