Chateau history

Brunello di Montalcino stands as one of Italy's most prestigious red wines, exclusively produced from Sangiovese grapes grown in the designated area around the town of Montalcino in Tuscany. The appellation, established in 1980, was the first in Italy to receive the Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG) status, underscoring its high quality and strict production regulations. Poggio Landi, the estate behind this Brunello, is nestled in the heart of the Montalcino region. The name 'Poggio Landi' evokes the characteristic hills and landscapes of Tuscany. The estate focuses on traditional winemaking practices, emphasizing the purity and expression of the Sangiovese varietal. Brunello di Montalcino wines are renowned for their longevity and complexity. They typically exhibit intense aromas of dark cherry, plum, and leather, evolving with age to develop notes of tobacco, earth, and spice. The substantial tannins and acidity provide a robust structure that allows these wines to age gracefully for decades.

The wine's intensity and savory character stand up well to the deeply flavored, tender veal and the earthy morels.
