Martoccia 2019 Brunello di Montalcino

Tasting Notes

The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino from Martoccia is a refined and expressive Sangiovese that captures the elegance and depth of this celebrated Tuscan appellation. It opens with a bouquet of ripe red cherry, dried rose petals, and hints of forest floor, followed by subtle notes of tobacco, leather, and sweet spices. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and harmonious, with silky tannins and vibrant acidity that frame flavors of raspberry, plum, and savory herbs. A touch of minerality and well-integrated oak lend complexity, leading to a long, graceful finish that echoes with earthy and floral undertones.
This Brunello pairs beautifully with classic Italian fare such as wild boar ragù, osso buco, and truffle risotto. It complements grilled meats like lamb chops and bistecca alla Fiorentina, as well as aged cheeses including Parmigiano-Reggiano and Pecorino Toscano. For vegetarian options, dishes featuring mushrooms, lentils, or eggplant offer a satisfying match to the wine’s depth and structure.
