Familiarisez-vous avec ce style
From the picturesque hilltop town of Montalcino in Tuscany, Brunello is one of Italy's best red wines.
Brunello is made totally from Sangiovese, Tuscany's flagship grape that is prized for its ability to reflect where it's grown. It is typically bolder than Chianti, Tuscany's other famous Sangiovese wine. Why not find out for yourself by trying Brunello and Chianti side-by-side?
This wine pairs well with big protein laden dishes. You may also enjoy it with salted cheeses and cured meats. Try to avoid pairing with dishes where the wine would overwhelm flavors, such as leafy greens and subtly seasoned meats.
Thanks to its high acidity, Brunello ages really well, which makes it great for collecting.
