Ventolaio Brunello di Montalcino 2019 750ml

Luigi Fanti is the 5th generation owner of the farm located on a windswept hill overlooking the Sant' Antimo Abbey, a couple of kilometers southeast of the town of Montalcino. Luigi, his wife and two sons are completely hands-on, managing every aspect of the growing cycle and vinification process to produce the highest quality wine using natural and organic methods. The wines are made in a very traditional and elegant style, using only large oak for aging.

Ventolaio’s 2019 Brunello di Montalcino is a wine of exceptional quality, made exclusively of the Sangiovese Grosso grape. Intense ruby red in color with complex aromas of cherries, red plums, dark chocolate, cappuccino, tobacco, vanilla and savory spice. Full bodied yet elegantly structured, with rich fruit and robust tannins on the hearty finish. A complex red that can easily accompany the best of Tuscan cooking. Pair it with rich, flavorful meals such as pasta, red meat, aged cheeses and wild game.
