What to Expect

Brunello di Montalcino is certainly one of the premier expressions of Sangiovese in all of Italy. Unlike other regions, such as Chianti, Brunello must be produced from 100% Sangiovese, in fact the particular clone referred to as Brunello. The vineyards of Brunello cover a large hillside and can be roughly divided into four regions, though things like age of vines and vinification techniques can easily mask the characteristics of each zone. Brunello is uusally a medium full-bodied wine with both strong acidity and tannins that support leathery, subtly spicy tones of coffee and tobacco that add depth to the classic plum and dark cherry fruits.

Winemakers Notes

PRE-SELLThe Manachiara estate, purchased in 1962, lies in the southeast corner of Montalcino near Castelnuovo dell’Abate and covers 505 Acers. The podere of Pinzala, Stercolati and Colombaio, as well a sthe vineyard of Manachiara proper, lie within this estate. The estate vineyards cover 95 acres and are situated at an altitude ranging from 919 to 1279 feet at varying exposures. The vines of th Manachiara vineyard, the oldest of the estate, are thought to be roughly 45 years of age and occupy this extraordinary, 17 acre microclimate named sunny morning, suggesting their illumination from read more...early morning through late afternoon. Whereas the dominant soil profile of the estate is sand with clay content, the Manachiara vineyard also shows a calcium content and particularly good drainage which, with advanced age of its vines, set it apart from the vineyard parcels.    (hide)

A little buttery on the nose with notes of sweet oak, spicy beef broth and extract and an assertive wildflower note that emerges with time. This had nice acids and really good cut in the mouth yet remained a bit raw feeling throughout the tasting. It’s young and a touch simple with attractive strawberry fruit that finishes with a zesty, mineral and herb edge. 87pts
