Castellani Brunaio Brunello Di Montalcino DOCG (2009)

Castellani Brunaio Brunello Di Montalcino DOCG

The grapes for this one Castellani Brunaio Brunello Di Montalcino are picked by hand to get the best selection. The wine is then fermented in modern tanks under strict temperature control. Here, the must is pumped over the grape skins to extract colour, tannin and acid from the must. The wine is then aged for two years in a combination of French and Slovenian oak barrels.

Brunello must be aged for a minimum of 2 years in oak casks and then a minimum of 4 months in bottle before being released. The wine must be sold the fifth year after harvest.

Scent: Typical of Brunello with the long aging is the wine's scent with a big expressive scent of cherry, blackberry and leather.
Taste: Deliciously elegant with high fruit intensity and medium body with notes of red and black berries in beautiful union with the developed aromas from barrel aging in the form of leather and cigar box.
Server for: Grilled wild boar or other intensely flavored meat dishes.
Serving temperature: 18-20°C

About the Vinhuset:

The Castellani family is one of the pillars of the Tuscan wine industry. The family owns several properties in the region, each of which is run separately with great respect for the uniqueness of the individual fields. In this way, precisely the characteristics that characterize the individual soils are enhanced. Castellani was founded at the end of the 19th century when the winemaker Alfred decided to bottle and sell his wine. In 1903, the company was officially registered at the Chamber of Commerce in Pisa, and since then the Castellani family has exported its exquisite wines from Tuscany to most of the world. The Castellani family focuses on innovation and development. But the very basic philosophy is the same as when the ancestors started the company over 100 years ago, "the quality of a wine starts with the work in the vineyard".

The company is still family-run and several generations work together in an exemplary manner to create exquisite wines. Thus, the experience of the older generation is united with the vitality and courage of the younger generation in a common goal of creating wines of high quality.
