All wines under the Brunello di Montalcino DOCG status are made from 100% Sangiovese grapes. Brunello is often considered the “best” version of Sangiovese due to its aging requirements, unique soils, and climate. The La Llecciaia’s Brunello di Montalcino Riserva offers cocoa, tobacco, and dark plum leading to the typical Sangiovese profile dominated by violet and cherries and framed by baking spice and blanketed in smooth, round tannins. The 2012 La Lecciaia captures the beauty of Sangiovese from Montalcino. Drink now.
