Tasting note

品飲筆記：新鮮紅莓與櫻桃的果香先迎面而來，隨後轉為煙燻林地氣息與甘草、乾燥香草的複雜層次。入口飽滿，單寧厚實但細緻如天鵝絨，酸度清爽帶動整體節奏，尾韻乾淨且持久。 酒莊與產區：出自位於蒙塔奇諾的家族酒莊，對地塊表現與手工細節有高度要求，僅以成熟、品質穩定的園區入選珍藏系列，採摘全部人工入箱處理。 釀造與熟成：發酵控制在27–28°C，前期發酵5–6天，浸皮12–16天（最高至32°C），以保存果香與結構。之後於25–30公頃的斯拉沃尼亞橡木大桶熟成24–30個月，賦予溫和木質香與穩固骨架。 葡萄園細節：主要來自兩塊地：Podernovone（海拔約500公尺，西南向，1998年植）與Canalicchio（海拔約250公尺，西北向，1989年植）。土壤由galestro、片岩、石灰、砂與白黏土組成，植株採單幹棚架、短枝修剪，風土感明顯。 飲用建議：建議醒酒約1–1.5小時，搭配紅燒牛肉、野味或成熟硬質奶酪更能呈現其層次與細膩口感。

Tasting note: Bright red-berry fruit—raspberry and cherry—meets a savory, smoky undercurrent with hints of licorice, dried herbs and cedar. The palate is full-bodied, framed by dense but polished, velvety tannins and lively acidity, finishing long and refined. Producer notes: From the Gianni Brunelli estate in Montalcino, this Riserva comes from selected parcels with mature plantings and a clear focus on site expression. Hand-harvested fruit is handled gently to preserve clarity and vigor. Winemaking notes: Fermentation is carried out at 27–28°C for 5–6 days, followed by an extended maceration of 12–16 days (peaking at 32°C). The wine is matured for 24–30 months in large Slavonian oak casks (25–30 hl), yielding subtle oak support and a structured backbone. Vineyard notes: Fruit is sourced from two notable sites: Podernovone (alt. 500 m, south-west exposure, planted 1998) and Canalicchio (alt. 250 m, north-west exposure, planted 1989). Soils are a mix of galestro, schist, limestone, sand and white clay. Vines are cordon trained and spur pruned. Harvest is entirely hand-picked into boxes. Serving suggestion: Decant for about 60–90 minutes to allow the wine to open; pair with braised or roasted red meats, rich tomato sauces, or mature cheeses.
