It is made exclusively from Sangiovese Grosso, a particular biotype of Sangiovese that thrives in this area.
Brunello is a full bodied and complex red wine. It is aged for a minimum of 5 years before release to the market with 3 years in Slavonian oak. The wine’s fame stems from its exceptional aging ability and the evolution of flavor and character over time, making it highly sought after by enthusiasts.
