What wine is Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2017 - Casisano
The Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2017 - Casisano is an elegant red wine produced in the renowned Montalcino area of Tuscany. It is made from Sangiovese Grosso grapes, the region's iconic varietal, known for producing wines with strong personality and great aging potential. The Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG) represents the highest level of quality recognized in Italy, guaranteeing careful and rigorous production. In the glass, Casisano's Brunello expresses a full and harmonious body, with a significant structure that balances power and finesse, making it a red of great character and longevity.Details of the vintage
The 2017 vintage was characterized by hot and dry weather, which favored a rapid but balanced ripening of the grapes. The grapes harvested in the Casisano vineyards, located at an altitude of approximately 480 meters, achieved excellent aromatic concentration and perfect phenolic ripeness. The result is a Brunello di Montalcino with an intense profile, with polished tannins and well-defined fruity notes.Winemaking and aging
After harvesting, the Sangiovese Grosso grapes undergo a long maceration of about 25 days on the skins, a phase during which the wine extracts color, aromas, and natural tannins. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature to preserve the fruit's fragrances and maintain balance and freshness. Aging occurs in large Slavonian oak barrels for about three years, a fundamental step that allows the wine to develop depth and complexity, before further bottle aging.Tasting notes
Color: It presents an intense ruby red color tending towards garnet, indicating maturity and elegant evolution over time.
Nose: The bouquet is broad and refined, with hints of ripe red fruits, cherry in spirits, and a delicate spiciness recalling tobacco, vanilla, and light balsamic notes.
Palate: On the palate, it is structured and harmonious. The soft yet present tannins give the sip balance and character, while the persistence is long and enveloping. The finish is elegant, with a return of fruity notes and a mineral hint that invites another taste.

How to best open and serve Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2017 - Casisano
1. Bottle Positioning
Before opening, position the Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2017 - Casisano bottle vertically for at least 24 hours. This allows sediment, which is natural in aged wines, to settle at the bottom, preventing it from ending up in the glass during service.
2. Ideal Serving Temperature
Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2017 - Casisano best expresses its complex aromas between 18°C and 20°C. If the bottle is stored in a cellar, remove it about an hour before serving to allow the wine to reach optimal temperature. Avoid the refrigerator: excessive cooling can impair the aroma and structure.
3. Opening the Bottle
Use a lever corkscrew or double-action corkscrew for safe opening. Follow these steps:
- Cut the capsule just below the lip of the bottle neck.
- Wipe the rim with a cloth to remove any residue.
- Insert the corkscrew worm into the center of the cork and extract it slowly to avoid breakage.
- Check that the cork does not have unpleasant moldy or damp odors.
4. Inspection and First Taste
Pour a small amount of wine into a glass for a visual and olfactory check. Observe the color: the Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2017 - Casisano should show garnet tones with orange reflections. Smell and taste to ensure the wine is in perfect condition before proceeding with decanting.
5. Decanting and Oxygenation
Being a structured and aged wine, Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2017 - Casisano benefits from proper decanting. Follow these tips:
- Slowly pour the wine into a decanter, keeping the bottle slightly tilted and using a candle or light to stop just before the sediment reaches the neck.

- Avoid excessive swirling: too much exposure to air can alter the delicacy of the bouquet.
6. Serving
Use large red wine glasses to fully appreciate the intense aromas and structure of this Tuscan wine. Fill them one-third full to allow for proper oxygenation in the glass. Serve slowly from the decanter to prevent any sediment from ending up in the glass.
