Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona Brunello di Montalcino 2021

A Brunello di Montalcino DOCG from Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona, made from Sangiovese and matured for about three years in Slavonian oak casks. The colour is ruby red turning towards garnet. The wine is complex and elegant, with lively, luminous aromas of smoke, balsamic notes and liquorice alongside fruit. On the palate it is clean and warm, with a long finish and tannins that are still moderately pronounced. It suits roasts, stews, game and aged cheeses, and goes especially well with pheasant stewed with mushrooms.
