The result is a wine that is ready to drink but also capable of evolving gracefully over time.Tasting notes

How to open and best serve Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2017 - Il Paradiso di Manfredi
1. Bottle Positioning
Before opening, it is important to position the bottle vertically for at least 24 hours. This allows any sediment, which is natural in aged wines like Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2017 - Il Paradiso di Manfredi, to settle at the bottom, preventing it from mixing with the wine during serving.
2. Ideal Serving Temperature
Temperature plays a crucial role in enhancing the aromas and complexity of this Brunello. It is recommended to serve the wine at 18°C. If the bottle has been stored in a cellar at a lower temperature, you can leave it at room temperature for about 30-40 minutes before opening.
3. Opening the Bottle
Use a lever corkscrew, carefully removing the capsule below the neck ring. Clean the rim with a clean cloth. Insert the corkscrew worm into the center of the cork and twist slowly to avoid breaking it. In the case of a fragile cork, typical of wines aged for several years, use a two-pronged cork puller for more delicate extraction.
4. Inspection and First Taste
After opening, observe the cork: it should not have unpleasant odors or mold. Pour a small amount of Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2017 - Il Paradiso di Manfredi into a glass and taste it to check for any defects. A slight hint of reduction can disappear after a few minutes of aeration.
5. Decanting and Aeration
Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2017 - Il Paradiso di Manfredi greatly benefits from decanting. This practice serves to separate any sediment and promote the aeration of the wine. Proceed as follows:
- Slowly pour the wine into a carafe, maintaining a constant angle.
- Stop pouring as soon as you notice the first sediments in the neck of the bottle.
- Allow the wine to come into contact with air for at least 1 hour before serving.
During this period, the complex aromas of ripe cherry, tobacco, and spices typical of this Brunello will fully open up.
6. Serving
Use large red wine glasses to allow the wine to express its full aromatic bouquet. Pour slowly, without agitating the wine in the decanter. Each sip of Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2017 - Il Paradiso di Manfredi will reveal new layers of aromas and tannic softness, typical of the best traditional Tuscan Brunello wines.
7. Storage After Opening
If not fully consumed, recork the bottle with the original cork or a vacuum stopper. Store in a cool place away from direct light. Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2017 - Il Paradiso di Manfredi can maintain its qualities for 2-3 days after opening, if stored correctly.
