The Sasso di Sole 2016 Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Riserva is a wine that embodies the essence of the Tuscan terroir, offering an unparalleled sensory experience. Hailing from the hills of Montalcino, this extraordinary red is made exclusively from hand-selected Sangiovese grapes, harvested during an exceptional vintage like 2016. Its color is an intense, almost impenetrable ruby, heralding the complexity of aromas and flavors that will develop in the glass.
On the nose, the bouquet continuously invites exploration of its nuances: it opens with elegant notes of ripe cherry, plum, and a delicate hint of violet, then evolves into complex aromas of sweet spices, tobacco, and cedar wood, thanks to at least 36 months of aging in oak barrels. On the palate, Sasso di Sole reveals itself to be smooth and structured, with silky tannins beautifully merging with vibrant acidity, creating a balance that promises longevity. The fruity notes blend with earthy and mineral nuances, delivering a long and persistent finish.
This wine is the ideal companion for robust dishes such as braised wild boar or grilled Chianina steak, but it also pairs magnificently with aged cheeses, creating a harmony of flavors that will astonish even the most discerning palates. Sasso di Sole 2016 is not just a wine; it's a journey through the history and culture of Montalcino, a sip of Tuscany that speaks of passion and tradition. A masterpiece not to be missed.
