Pietroso, Brunello di Montalcino 2018

Pietroso Brunello di Montalcino 2018 is a classic expression of one of Tuscany’s most celebrated appellations, made entirely from Sangiovese. Crafted with patience and tradition, it combines the structure and depth expected of Brunello with an elegant, harmonious style that reflects the finesse of the Pietroso estate.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a deep ruby-red colour with garnet reflections, hinting at its maturity and character. The nose is intense and persistent, opening with fragrant wood, forest floor, small red berries, and subtle touches of vanilla and jammy fruit. On the palate, it is dry, warm, elegant, and well balanced, with a refined texture and a long aromatic finish. The 2018 vintage has the depth and structure to age beautifully, rewarding further cellaring with even greater complexity over time.

Production
The grapes come from Brunello di Montalcino and are harvested by hand in the first week of October, ensuring careful selection in the vineyard. Fermentation takes place with naturally occurring yeasts, followed by maceration at 30–33°C for around 20 days with regular pumping over to build colour, structure, and flavour. The wine then matures for 36 months in oak barrels and a further 6 months in bottle before release.

Food & Serving
This Brunello is an excellent match for rich dishes such as braised beef, game, roasted lamb, and mushroom-based pasta or risotto. It also pairs beautifully with aged cheeses and Tuscan-style cuisine. Serve at 16–18°C, and decanting for at least one hour is recommended to allow the wine to open fully.

Producer
Pietroso is a respected Brunello producer in Montalcino, a region renowned worldwide for producing some of Italy’s most age-worthy red wines. The estate is appreciated for its commitment to traditional methods and for wines that express the power, purity, and elegance of Sangiovese.
