South of Siena, in the village of Montalcino, the Brunello wine is crafted from a specific clone of the Sangiovese grape. Aged in oak barrels, these wines develop into powerful and characterful expressions, balancing tannins and fruit as they mature. Brunello is not just a simple 'pizza and pasta' wine; it stands as the true king of Tuscan winemaking tradition! Val di Suga is unique in Montalcino, owning vineyards both north and south of the town, producing single-vineyard Brunelli. Winemaker Marco Ostan meticulously highlights the distinct differences in soil, climate, and vines in each glass.
