What kind of wine is Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2019 - Castello Tricerchi?

The Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2019 - Castello Tricerchi is an authentic expression of the Tuscan territory, made from 100% Sangiovese grapes. Originating from the Castello and Velo vineyards, located on the gentle hills of Montalcino, this red wine represents the perfect balance between elegance, structure, and complexity. The medium-textured soil, rich in calcareous clay and sand, gives the wine depth and a mineral freshness that accompanies its natural softness.

Vintage details

The 2019 vintage was characterized by a rainy winter and a balanced summer, with ideal temperature excursions for grape ripening. The harvest, carried out strictly by hand, allowed only the best bunches to be selected, guaranteeing a wine of great harmony and evolutionary potential. The result is a Brunello that combines body and finesse, with a full and clear aromatic profile.

Winemaking and aging

After harvesting, fermentation occurs spontaneously thanks to indigenous yeasts—those naturally present on the grape skins—at a controlled temperature. This is followed by a long maceration on the skins, to extract color, aromas, and structure. Aging continues for approximately 30 months in oak barrels of different sizes, which give the wine balance and complexity, followed by 8 months in bottle for further harmonization of the aromas.
