2019 Brunello di Montalcino, Máté, Tuscany, Italy

Description

An incredibly compelling candidate for the finest wine Candace and Ferenc Máté have produced. This matured for two years in 500l tonneaux (between a third and a quarter of which are new), followed by 12 months in larger, botti grandi. The palate is alive with bright acidity and wild black cherry, alongside clear notes of blackberry, plum and lavender. The fruit is so clearly defined and enhanced by earthiness, with a light touch of gianduja and sweet spice.?This is truly invigorating, with personality and verve in abundance. The coveted, complex terroir of Santa Restituta performed exceptionally in 2019.

Brunello di Montalcino

Along with Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino is Tuscany's most famous DOCG and its boldest expression of the Sangiovese grape. Located 30 miles south of Siena, its 2,000 hectares of vines are hemmed in by the Orcia, Asso and Ombrone valleys. Brunello is the local name for the Sangiovese Grosso clone from which Brunello di Montalcino should be made in its entirety. The wine cannot be released for sale until five years after the harvest.
