Casisano Brunello di Montalcino Docg 2016 Magnum 1,5 l

This wine comes from the splendid Casisano estate, surrounded by hundred-year-old forests, at an altitude of 480 meters above sea level in the hills to the south-east of Montalcino.

The mosaic of microclimates and soil compositions found in the Casisano vineyards, surrounded by ancient oak forests and olive groves, is the foundation for the making of an impressive Brunello di Montalcino.

Tasting Note
Deep ruby red with a garnet tinge in color, the nose reveals all the elegant and fresh complexity of the fruity and spicy notes that are typical of Sangiovese. It displays a very attractive harmony on the palate, with rich fruit combining with velvety tannins, and an amazingly long finish.
