Cantina di Montalcino

Montalcino Sangiovese: structure, age-worthiness, and Tuscan terroir.

Cantina di Montalcino produces Sangiovese-based wines from Tuscany's Montalcino region, where the Brunello designation marks some of Italy's most structured and age-worthy reds. The winery's Brunello di Montalcino Riserva and Brunello di Montalcino represent the region's exacting standards: extended barrel aging, rigorous selection, and the particular terroir of southern Tuscany. Sangiovese from this area builds on the grape's natural architecture of tannin and acidity, shaped by the limestone and clay soils that define Montalcino. Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, Wine Advocate, Decanter, and Falstaff have all assessed the winery's output. The Riserva and standard Brunello sit at the apex of the portfolio, reflecting the demanding protocols of the DOCG. A straightforward Sangiovese rounds the range, offering entry into the varietal's character without the extended aging requirements of the classified Brunello expressions.
