Brunello di Montalcino Greppone Mazzi Estate, Ruffino

Name: Brunello di Montalcino Greppone Mazzi Estate, Ruffino
SKU: 19449

Made from 100% Sangiovese Grosso grapes, locally known as Brunello, grown on the Greppone Mazzi estate which has some of the region's highest vineyards at 460 metres above sea level. Here, the cooler conditions result in a long, slow maturation process that is reflected in the quality of the wine, which, while typically intense, full-bodied and packed with ripe fruit, also exhibits a complex perfumed aroma. Aged for three years in large oak casks after six months in stainless-steel vats, the wine was bottled and aged for a minimum of four months before release

Sangiovese

At its best Sangiovese produces great wines, such as Chianti, Brunello di Montalchino as well as used in blends coined as Super Tuscans. Sangiovese is high in acidity with a sour red cherry fruit character, and sometimes quite earthy with grippy tannin.
