Ridolfi Brunello di Montalcino

A magnificent Central Italian red wine displaying a clear, bright garnet red color with brilliant ruby highlights. Hailing from the cooler, northern slopes of Montalcino, the highly complex nose opens with an elegant, aristocratic bouquet of crisp red cherries, wild strawberries, and blood orange peel, masterfully layered with sophisticated notes of dark tobacco, licorice, leather, crushed violets, and a distinct mineral undercurrent of graphite and fresh earth. On the medium-to-full-bodied palate, it balances a remarkably pure, vertical Sangiovese fruit energy and a vibrant, racy acidity with a tight-knit, beautifully chiseled structure of fine, powdery tannins that provide incredible definition, carrying into a long, incredibly focused, and savory finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs flawlessly with classic Tuscan fare, Bistecca alla Fiorentina, roasted rack of lamb, slow-braised wild game ragù, and well-aged cheeses like Pecorino Toscano.
