La Lecciaia Brunello di Montalcino 2019 is a traditional expression of Sangiovese from Montalcino, combining ripe fruit with the savory, floral and structured character expected from Brunello.
Red cherry and dark plum are joined by dried rose, orange peel, dried herbs, tobacco and subtle earthy notes. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with bright acidity, firm tannins and a long, savory finish.
Extended aging in large oak barrels gives the wine time to develop complexity and soften its structure without introducing pronounced oak flavors, allowing the character of Sangiovese to remain at the center.
The 2019 vintage gives this wine an appealing balance between ripe fruit and freshness. It is already expressive, but the acidity and tannin structure suggest that it will continue to develop additional complexity with further bottle age.
Food Pairing: Pair with braised beef, roast lamb, wild boar ragù, grilled steak, mushroom dishes, truffle preparations, or aged Pecorino.
Serve around 60–64°F. If drinking now, decant for approximately 45–60 minutes.
