Inside the case you will find:<\/strong><\/p>\n

6x Cantine Leonardo Brunello di Montalcino Da Vinci 2012<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 A Brunello that has reached full maturity, more than ten years after the harvest. It is a clear purple-red in the glass. The nose is intense, with blackberry, blackcurrant and cherry. The palate is full and rich, with soft fruit balanced by lovely freshness. Ideal with roasts, game and aged cheeses such as Parmigiano and pecorino.<\/p>\n

6x Cantine Leonardo Brunello di Montalcino Lorenzo Melani 2017<\/strong> \u2013 Deep, bright ruby red. The bouquet is complex: cherry and red berries first, then spicy and balsamic notes of vanilla and cocoa. The palate is rich and assertive, with hints of morello cherry, blackberry and currant. The tannins are fine and elegant, and the finish is harmonious and persistent. It matures for at least two years in Slavonian oak and four months in bottle.<\/p>\n

The Winery:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cantine Leonardo da Vinci:<\/strong> located in Vinci, Leonardo\u2019s birthplace, with roots in the Montalcino area as well. The winery\u2019s aim is to reinterpret in a modern way the winemaking studies of the Florentine genius. Leonardo came from a family of winegrowers. In 1515 he wrote a letter to his estate manager with precise advice on agronomy and winemaking to produce a flawless wine. That document gave rise to the Leonardo Method, an approach based on observation, innovation and respect for the land. Grapes are harvested by hand, fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled steel tanks and ageing in Slavonian oak casks.<\/p>\n

Description<\/strong><\/p>\n

Discover the 12-bottle case of Brunello di Montalcino by Cantine Leonardo da Vinci: two labels and two vintages side by side, 2013 and 2017.
