Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2020 - San Polo, Marilisa Allegrini

A Brunello di Montalcino from the San Polo estate, made from Sangiovese from the estate's historic vineyards on clay- and calcium-rich soils. After manual harvesting, the selected grapes are vinified and fermented in concrete vats. The wine then ages for 30 months in oak casks, followed by at least six months in bottle before release. It is structured and elegant, with violet, small red fruits, candied fruit, vanilla spice, toast, wood and undergrowth on the nose. On the palate it is warm and full-bodied, with elegant but well-defined tannins and long persistence. It pairs with structured dishes based on red meats, mushrooms and truffles, and with aged cheeses and Tuscan pecorino.
