Gianni Brunelli Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2019

Our Brunello from Gianni Brunelli has a lengthy ageing potential and can further improve with extended bottle ageing. This is due both to the characteristics of the soils on which the grapes are grown – the calcareous content provides ideal conditions for Sangiovese – and the position of the vineyards on the beautiful hills.
