Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG 2010 - Palazzo

Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG 2010 - Palazzo  

This Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is produced only in the best years.

It comes only from our Sangiovese Grosso vineyards and has the same vinification and aging as Brunello, with an extra 12 months of aging in French tonneaux (500 liter oak casks).

The wine is full bodied and well structured with a rich red ruby color.

The taste is intense and elegant with a hint of spices and a final seducing tannic.

A truly exceptional wine reserved for the most special of occasions.
