Brunello di Montalcino Poggio Cerrino 2017

Description

 

Brunello di Montalcino Poggio Cerrino is the historic label of the Tiezzi estate. It is a wine that embodies the purest and most artisanal soul of Montalcino, the result of the experience of Enzo Tiezzi, one of the agronomists and oenologists who made the history of the appellation.

Here is a brief but complete description:

Organoleptic Profile

• Style: A traditional, “old school” Brunello, far removed from the fads of overly concentrated or woody wines.

• Color: Light ruby red with garnet reflections, typical of unforced pure Sangiovese.

• Nose: Elegant and austere. Notes of ripe cherries, wilted violets and very clean underbrush emerge, enriched by nuances of light spices and leather.

• Taste: The palate is striking for its great freshness and savoriness. The tannins are present but fine, and the finish is long and mineral, very true to the terroir of origin.

The Territory and Production

• Vineyard: Comes from the Poggio Cerrino vineyard, located on the northeastern slope of Montalcino at about 350 meters above sea level.

• Maturation: Strictly follows tradition, maturing for about 3 years in large Slavonian oak barrels, which allow the wine to evolve without covering up the scents of the grape variety.

Recommended pairings

It is a wine that shines with Tuscan cuisine of substance:

• Meats: Sliced beef with rosemary, pigeon or braised meats.

• First courses: Pappardelle with hare ragout or rich meat sauces.

• Cheeses: Local aged pecorino cheese (Pienza or similar).
