"Aromas of ripe wild berry, purple flower, leather and baking spice shape the inviting nose. It's bigger and more concentrated than what you would normally expect for a Rosso di Montalcino. It's smooth and juicy, with black cherry, plum and cocoa flavors. Taut, fine-grained tannins give it velvety support. Enjoy through 2023."

Tommaso Cortonesi is a third-generation winemaker. Cortonesi owns some of the most prized vineyards in the north and south-east of Montalcino. Favourable geography, rocky soils, and ingenious winemaking all come together to create some of the region's deepest and most elegant Brunello wines.
The Cortonesi family has been making wine since the 1970s. At first, wines were made to be enjoyed by family, friends and neighbours, but in 1985, Cortonesi had gained enough traction within their community that they began to offer their wines commercially. Today, Cortonesi remains a family business that continues to work according to tradition, while employing modern technologies to enhance the quality of their production.
Lovers of Sangiovese must experience ‘La Mannella’, a collection of wines exclusively sourced from Cortonesi's private vine land. This farm covers 56 hectares, eight of which are devoted to the production of some of the world's most coveted and age-worthy Brunello di Montalcino.
It's important to remember that taste is subjective, and personal preferences play a significant role.
