Traditional vinification with 15–20 days of maceration at controlled temperature was followed by 36 months of ageing in 30 hl oak casks, and an additional 6–9 months of bottle refinement before release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine has an intense ruby-red colour with garnet tinges that intensify with ageing. On the nose, it shows refined aromas of plum, citrus peel, tobacco leaf, and graphite, along with wild herbs and spice. The palate is structured and elegant, with fragrant, balanced tannins, lively acidity, and a persistent finish layered with red fruits and dark chocolate richness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape variety\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e100% Sangiovese Grosso\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction area\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMontalcino, Castelnuovo dell’Abate (Bellaria)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAltitude\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e350 – 400 m a.s.l.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCalcareous with rocky components\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClimate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMediterranean\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTraditional, 15–20 days maceration at controlled temperature\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAgeing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e36 months in 30 hl oak casks, followed by 6–9 months bottle refinement\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eColour: Deep ruby red with garnet tinges\u003cbr\u003eAroma: Plum, citrus peel, tobacco, spice, and graphite, evolving with age\u003cbr\u003eTaste: Structured, complex, fragrant tannins, balanced acidity, long finish with red fruit and dark chocolate notes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e14 – 14.5 %\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrinking temp.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e15 – 18 °C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAgeing ability\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLong ageing potential; evolves gracefully over decades, drink 2023-2033\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood pairing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExcellent with red meats, game, and aged cheeses\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e92\/100 by Wine Enthusiast\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47060271890667,"sku":"SK78881073","price":99.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/1022\/0779\/files\/brunellodimontalcino.png?v=1763080257","url":"https:\/\/lionscellar.com.au\/products\/2018-belpoggio-brunello-di-montalcino-docg-750ml","provider":"Lion's Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
