Chosen at a good Italian restaurant at Broadbeach on the Gold Coast off the Wine List. Chosen for the vintage - the producer unknown to me. Brief notes. Earthy with a deep black cherry note. Persistent but smooth tannins. Went well with a slow roasted shoulder of lamb with Pappardelle pasta. Celebrating the sale of our apartment held for over 21 years on the Gold Coast.

We tasted a lot of wines in #montalcino and this is the bottle we bought to take home with us. Delicious and generous. #brunello ANNUAL PRODUCTION: 30.000/35.000 bott.

It proceeds to intense extraction in the early stages of fermentation, followed by long quiescent maceration on the marc; the maximum temperature is raised up to 33 °C and maintained at high values until the racking. The ageing in wood lasts 36 months in oak barrels from Slavonia hl 17.50. It follows bottle ageing for 12 months far beyond the mandatory minimum of four months from production regulations.
