Sassodisole’s Roberto Terzuoli waited until the beginning of October to harvest. He brought maceration times down from 35 days to 28 to work with the ripeness. After three years ageing in 35hl and 50hl Slavonian oak casks, the hue is evolving into garnet and there are developing aromas of spice and earth and mushroom along with dark cherry. Full and sturdy, it shows prevalent good acidity roots and herbs through the mid-palate. A clean, characterful Brunello with a mineral-tinged finish but where the cherry comes through as it encounters food. SassodiSole’s Brunello di Montalcino is a traditional Brunello with an intense ruby red color and varietal and spicy aromas, with an excellent freshness and a fine intensity. An elegant and balanced structure with soft tannins. Full organic certification.
