San Felice Campogiovanni Il Quercione Brunello Di Montalcino Riserva

The San Felice Campogiovanni Il Quercione Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is a monumental, profoundly structured, and ultra-premium Old World red wine that stands as the absolute finest expression of the estate’s south-facing Montalcino terroir. Produced exclusively in the most exceptional growing years, it is sourced from a prized, 2.5-hectare single vineyard planted in 1980 on a complex matrix of silt, sand, sandstone, and calcareous marl. It pours a very deep, concentrated ruby-red colour in the glass, lifting with an expansive and remarkably emphatic bouquet of well-ripened wild berries, cocoa powder, and tanned leather, seamlessly layered with underlying accents of sandalwood, dried fruits, and a balsamic lift. On the palate, this full-bodied, pure Sangiovese is immensely powerful, rich, and compact, coating the mouth with opulent intensities of dark cherries, sweet spices, and an authentic structural crunch. Matured meticulously for 24 months in 500-liter French oak tonneaux followed by an extensive 36 months of patient refinement in the bottle prior to release, it balances a warm, generous alcohol presence with youthful acidity and dense, chewy noble tannins that carry into a long, beautifully nuanced, and savory finish.

Food Pairing: This highly structured and muscular Riserva demands rich, equally powerful dishes, making it an ideal partner for mixed grills, slow-cooked wild game, roasted venison, dishes adorned with mushrooms or truffles, and a selection of highly aged artisanal cheeses.
