This denomination, one of the most prestigious in Italy, best represents the elegance and structure of Sangiovese Grosso, capable of producing complex, long-lived wines of great personality. The result is a full-bodied and harmonious red, perfect for those who want to approach the world of great Brunello, but also for those looking for an important bottle to share.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2019 vintage is considered among the best in recent years in Montalcino. Ideal climatic conditions – a balanced spring, a warm but not extreme summer, and a cool September – allowed for a slow and complete ripening of the grapes. The result is a wine characterized by a \u003cstrong\u003egreat balance between freshness, structure, and aromatic concentration\u003c\/strong\u003e, with fine and well-integrated tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking and aging\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eBrunello di Montalcino DOCG 2019 - Cecchi\u003c\/strong\u003e is vinified with traditional fermentation at controlled temperatures, useful for preserving the natural aromas of Sangiovese. This is followed by a phase of \u003cstrong\u003emaceration on the skins\u003c\/strong\u003e, which allows for the extraction of color and tannins in a balanced way. Aging lasts about 24 months in French oak barriques (20% new, 80% second and third passage), to which at least 24 months of rest in the bottle are added, essential for achieving its typical aromatic complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eColor\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVisually, the Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2019 - Cecchi presents an intense \u003cstrong\u003eruby red\u003c\/strong\u003e color tending towards garnet, a sign of its maturity and evolutionary potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAroma\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the nose, broad and enveloping aromas emerge: hints of \u003cstrong\u003eripe cherry, plum, and red fruits in spirit\u003c\/strong\u003e intertwine with spicy nuances of vanilla and liquorice, typical of wood aging.
