Tasting notes
The 2017 Bonacchi Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG is crafted entirely from 100% Sangiovese grapes, the hallmark variety of the region. This Riserva shows a deep garnet colour with complex aromas of dried cherries, plum, leather, and hints of tobacco, underpinned by subtle notes of spice and earth from its extended aging. On the palate, it is structured and powerful yet balanced, offering layers of dark fruit, savoury herbs, and refined tannins that carry through to a long, elegant finish. The warmth of the 2017 vintage lends richness and concentration, while the Riserva classification ensures extra depth and maturity.

About this wine
Bonacchi's Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG represents the pinnacle of Tuscany's most prestigious red wine appellation. Crafted from Sangiovese grapes grown in the hillsides of Montalcino, this full-bodied red embodies the region's commitment to quality and tradition. The extended aging process required for Riserva designation allows the wine to develop complexity and refinement, with characteristic notes of black fruit, spice, and earthy undertones that define this noble varietal.
The terroir of Montalcino, marked by limestone-rich soils, altitude, and a continental climate, imparts distinctive character to Sangiovese. Bonacchi's winemaking philosophy honors these natural advantages, resulting in a wine of balance and structure. At 14% alcohol, this Brunello pairs beautifully with game birds, aged beef, and mature cheeses, making it an ideal choice for fine dining and distinguished table settings in villa, yacht, or chateau environments.
