    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    The Montosoli area has long been recognised as one of the absolute great spots for Sangiovese and Brunello di Montalcino. Located on the northern side of Montalcino, where the vineyards are steep, windy and cool, but slightly lower in elevation compared to the south side (at around 280-350m). The soils tend to have more limestone and hard clay, with complex fossilised influences. Riccardo’s Montosoli is bright and radiant, with lovely ripe strawberry and pressed raspberry notes. There is concentration here but finesse too with a touch of salt and earth on finish.

    Eric Guido,

    Dark and brooding today, the 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Casanovina Montosoli lifts from the glass with an alluring display of mineral-infused black cherry, complemented by hints of mint leaf, then given further depths, as dark soil tones and a hint of animal musk develops in the glass. The 2015 races across the palate with velvety textures, yet it is somehow lifted, as notes of strawberry and cedar give way to savory herbs and minerals with pretty inner florals. The finish is long, revealing a web of complex tannins upon the senses, as hints of wild berry fruit lingers with just enough residual acids to keep the expression fresh. The 2015 is just a baby today. It shows so much tension and density, with layers of unseen depth that could one day result in this being one of the best wines of the vintage.
