2019 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Duelecci Ouest Tenuta di Sesta Toskana 0,75l

A single-vineyard Brunello di Montalcino Riserva from Tenuta di Sesta, the 2019 Duelecci Ovest is made entirely from Sangiovese Grosso and produced in a limited run of around 4,000 bottles. Its lively, structured style reflects the classic character of Brunello, with traditional large-cask ageing that lets the grape and vineyard take centre stage.

Tasting Notes
Ruby-red in the glass, it opens with sour and black cherry, ripe plum, raspberry and pomegranate, followed by violet, rosemary, dried herbs, tobacco and forest-floor notes. With air, hints of orange peel, liquorice and balsamic spice emerge. The palate is juicy and energetic, with bright acidity and firm but finely shaped tannins; its long finish brings cherry, blood orange, herbs and a lightly saline edge. Still youthful, the wine has the freshness and structure to develop further in bottle. Enjoy it now after ample aeration, or cellar it to allow the primary fruit to give way to more pronounced savoury and earthy complexity.

Production
The Duelecci vineyard lies in southern Montalcino and was planted in 1999. For the 2019 Riserva, the estate selected its western section, whose fertile, iron-rich reddish soils contain clay, silt, sand and a good proportion of limestone over Eocene subsoil. The Sangiovese Grosso grapes are hand-harvested and macerated for around 25 days, with temperature-controlled alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in stainless steel. The wine then matures for 3.5 years in large 20–25-hectolitre Slavonian oak casks, followed by 12 months in bottle. It is 14.5% ABV.

Food & Serving
Serve in a large wine glass at around 16–18°C, allowing it time to open; decant for a few hours, especially if drinking now. Its acidity and structure suit bistecca alla Fiorentina, venison, wild boar, braised beef or rosemary-scented lamb. It also pairs beautifully with mushrooms and dishes featuring black truffle.
