Brunello di Montalcino is widely regarded as Italy's greatest red wine — a wine of extraordinary longevity, complexity and noble bearing produced exclusively from Sangiovese Grosso (locally called Brunello) in the hills around Montalcino in Tuscany. The wine must age for a minimum of five years before release, including at least two years in oak and four months in bottle, with Riserva wines requiring six years. The result is a wine of remarkable structure — pronounced tannins, high acidity, and profound complexity that develops over decades into leather, dried cherry, tobacco, truffle and earth. Brunello is a perfect partner for braised meats, wild boar, bistecca Fiorentina, aged Parmigiano and mushroom dishes. At Wines Direct we source Brunello from producers who respect the demanding standards that have made this wine a benchmark for Italian fine wine.
