Description
Mocali’s Brunello di Montalcino is a benchmark expression of Tuscany, bottled here in the perfect 750mL size for sharing or cellaring. Produced from 100% Sangiovese Grosso grown on the estate’s galestro-rich southwest facing slopes just outside the medieval hill town, the wine spends more than three years slowly maturing in large Slavonian oak casks before resting in bottle to knit its flavors. Pour a glass and an alluring bouquet of black cherry, ripe plum, dried fig and violet greets the nose, followed by evocative hints of leather, sweet tobacco, cedar and a gentle waft of Tuscan herbs. On the palate the wine is full-bodied yet graceful, marrying silky, ripe tannins with brisk acidity that carries layers of wild berry, pomegranate, dark chocolate, licorice and a kiss of vanilla through an exceptionally persistent finish. Decant for an hour now or tuck away for a decade; this Brunello will reward patience with added complexity. Serve at 60–65 °F alongside bistecca alla fiorentina, braised short ribs, porcini risotto or an aged Pecorino for a true taste of Italy.
