Italy, Tuscany, Brunello - Made with HARVEST CRUSH™ GRAPE SKIN PACK!

Appellation: Tuscany, Italy

The Region:
In Italy, family, food and wine go hand in hand. Steeped in tradition, winemaking and grape growing are an intricate part of everyday life. The landscape in Tuscany features rolling hills, majestic olive groves and enless vistas of vineyards. The climate generally consisits of cold, wet winters and hot, dry summers. There is a significant temperature variation between day and night which helps to develop the aromatic qualities of the Sangiovese grape, nicknamed the soul of the Tuscan countryside

The Wine:
Brunello di Montalcino was Italy's first wine to be accorded their prestigious D.O.C.G. status. In Brunello, Sangiovese grapes are transformed into a wine of robust character that is renowned throughout the world. Traditionally aged for many years in oak barrels, this bold red wine possesses a rich garnet colour and a wealth of complex flavours. Expect licorice, coffee, cedar and blackberry aromas that carry through to the palate. With extended cellaring you will have a rich, full-bodied wine with spicy complex flavours, round tannins and a very elegant, lingering finish.

The Food:
This Brunello's regal qualities are best matched with hearty stews, flavourful roasts and dishes featuring rich cheeses such as Parmiagiano Reggiano.
