The DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita) denomination represents the highest level of Italian wine quality, synonymous with rigor and authenticity.\nThis Brunello is born from a skillful blend of grapes from three different sides of the Montalcino hill, each characterized by distinct soils and microclimates. The result is a complex and balanced wine, capable of expressing both the depth and freshness of the territory. The Magnum version, kept in its wooden box, promotes an even more harmonious evolution over time, making it ideal for special occasions or as a valuable gift.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage details\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe 2020 vintage is considered balanced and linear for Montalcino. The season saw a mild spring and a warm summer but without excesses, with excellent temperature fluctuations between day and night.\nThese conditions allowed a slow and regular ripening of the grapes, which were healthy and rich in aromatic substances. The resulting wine combines a remarkable concentration of fruit with a vibrant freshness, fully expressing the distinctive character of the vintage.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVinification and aging\u003c\/h3\u003e\nAfter manual harvesting, the grapes are gently pressed and sent for fermentation in stainless steel at controlled temperatures. Maceration on the skins, lasting about three weeks, allows for the balanced extraction of color, aromas, and tannins.\nThis is followed by long aging in Slavonian oak barrels for about 24 months, during which the wine slowly matures and develops complexity and depth. After bottling, the wine rests further in the cellar for a few months before being released to the market, ensuring a perfect harmony between structure and softness.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\nThe \u003cstrong\u003eBrunello di Montalcino DOCG 2020 Magnum - Val di Suga\u003c\/strong\u003e is a red with a refined profile, where balance and character coexist impeccably.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eColor\u003c\/h3\u003e\nVisually, it presents an \u003cstrong\u003eintense ruby red\u003c\/strong\u003e with slight garnet reflections, a sign of maturity and typicality of the denomination.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNose\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe bouquet is complex and varied: aromas of ripe cherry, plum, and small red fruits emerge, accompanied by spicy notes of cinnamon, sweet tobacco, and a balsamic hint on the finish.
