Tiezzi Brunello di Montalcino Poggio Cerrino DOCG 2015 750mL

Brunello di Montalcino is made using traditional methods and is naturally stabilized. No filtering takes place before bottling.  

The Poggio Cerrino Brunello is made with grapes from both the Cigaleta and Poggio Cerrino vineyards, north east of the town of Montalcino. Cerrino’s vines are about 40 years old, while Cigaleta’s are around 25. The soil here is sandy clay with schists and Galestro. The finished product is the essence of Brunello, a wine that gives pleasure now, but can withstand long aging. In fact, in 2012 Antonio Galloni, tasted wines Tiezzi had made at Col d’Orcia in the 1970s and 80s and repeatedly called them “a revelation” as well as “a remarkable achievement… fabulous.”
