Brunello di Montalcino
Montalcino is located in the Tuscany region of central Italy. The Brunello di Montalcino production zone is located in the village, some 40 kilometers from the sea and 100 kilometers from the Apennines.
The climate of Brunello di Montalcino is Mediterranean, mild and sunny. The vineyard is protected from violent climatic phenomena by the Amiata mountain to the south.
The relationship between Brunello and the Montalcino terroir began in the 19th century with Clemente Santi, who chose this grape variety for his wine, which was recognized and awarded at an Italian agrarian competition and later at international competitions. The use of the Brunello grape then gradually spread, but remained limited to certain connoisseurs. In the second half of the 20th century, it became the emblem of this terroir. Brunello de Montalcino was recognized as DOC in 1966, then DOCG in 1980. Today, this appellation is recognized as one of the most prestigious in Italy. Fans of this red wine will find that it lives up to its reputation by tasting the vintages of Domaine Lisini or Domaine Solaria.
