WINE DESCRIPTION

Fossacolle Brunello di Montalcino is a premium red wine produced by Fossacolle, a renowned winery located in the Montalcino appellation of Tuscany, Italy. The vineyards are situated on a hillside with a south-eastern exposure, providing optimal sunlight and drainage for the Sangiovese grapes. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including a long maceration period and aging in large oak barrels. The resulting wine is a classic expression of Brunello di Montalcino, with a deep ruby color, intense aromas of red fruit, leather, and spice, and a full-bodied, complex palate with firm tannins and a long finish. Fossacolle Brunello di Montalcino is a must-try for any wine enthusiast looking for a high-quality, authentic Italian wine.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This full-bodied, robust red is a classic expression of Sangiovese from Montalcino, Tuscany.Aromas of ripe cherry, leather, and spices give way to flavors of bright red fruit, dried herbs, and a hint of earthiness. The tannins are firm and well-integrated, with a long finish that lingers on the palate. Enjoy this Brunello now or cellar it for a few years for even more complexity.
