Val di Suga Brunello di Montalcino 1990 - 0,75l

Val di Suga Brunello di Montalcino 1990 is a mature Tuscan red from one of Italy’s most celebrated appellations. Made from Sangiovese and shaped by extended ageing, this vintage offers the opportunity to experience Brunello with decades of bottle development, making it particularly appealing to collectors and lovers of traditional Italian wine.

Tasting Notes
With its advanced age, the wine is likely to show a garnet to brick-red colour, depending on storage and bottle condition. The mature bouquet may reveal dried cherry, plum, leather, tobacco, cedar, earthy spice and hints of forest floor, while a well-preserved bottle can retain elegant floral and savoury nuances. On the palate, classic Brunello structure is expected in the form of refreshing acidity, refined tannins and a long, dry finish. The fruit will be more evolved and savoury than youthful, with notes of dried red berries, herbs, spices and subtle balsamic complexity. As with any wine of this age, condition and provenance are important, and the bottle is best enjoyed rather than held for further significant development.

Production
Brunello di Montalcino is produced exclusively from Sangiovese grown around the hill town of Montalcino, where warm days, cooling nights and varied soils help create wines with both concentration and freshness. Traditionally vinified with extended maceration and matured for several years in wood before release, Brunello develops its characteristic combination of structure, savoury complexity and ageing potential. Specific vineyard and cellar details for this 1990 bottling are not available.

Food & Serving
Serve slightly below room temperature, around 18°C, after allowing the bottle to stand upright so any sediment can settle. Carefully decant shortly before serving, tasting as you go: a mature Brunello may benefit from gentle aeration, but prolonged exposure to air can diminish an older wine. Pair with roast beef, braised beef, wild boar, game birds, truffle dishes, aged Pecorino Toscano or other richly flavoured Tuscan cuisine.

Producer
Val di Suga is a respected Montalcino estate known for producing traditionally styled Brunello di Montalcino. Its vineyards benefit from the diversity of Montalcino’s soils and elevations, contributing to wines that combine Tuscan character with notable longevity. For this mature 1990 bottle, storage history, fill level, label condition and provenance should be considered alongside the wine itself.
