Podere Casisano, Brunello di Montalcino, DOCG, 2017

Description

The estate originated with a Roman family who fell in love with the property in 1990, planting the first vineyards and building the wine cellar.

Tommasi family estates took over in 2015 and quickly intervened with a substantial agronomical project to recuperate the vineyards and prune the olive groves. We reorganized the winery and the cellar, and plans are underway for a partial restoration and addition to the winery using sustainable materials and building practices.

Today, we use the expertise of our winemaking to bring new character every year to the Brunello di Montalcino

Tasting Notes

Casisano’s Brunello di Montalcino is distinguished by its elegance and its deep ruby red colour. It presents a good concentration on the mid-palate and a persistent aftertaste, with a rounded and voluptuous body, and interesting, silky tannins.

It unites potency and elegance and looks like having a promising future. With its tempting perfumes of red berries and its clean freshness, the complexity of this wine presents an excellent balance.

To fully appreciate its qualities, decant the wine at least one hour before serving.

Serving Suggestions

Pair with a fine roast leg of lamb with rosemary, pot roast pheasant, roast squab with truffles or that most famous dish of all bistecca alla fiorentina, Tuscan-style steak, ideally sourced from the indigenous Chianina beef.
