Cortonesi Brunello di Montalcino La Manella

Crafted in Montalcino’s northern slopes near Montosoli, this Sangiovese hails from the Cortonesi family’s historic La Mannella vineyard, rooted in sandstone-clay soils rich in marlstone. Hand-harvested from 40-year-old vines, the wine reveals an intense ruby hue with aromas of ripe cherry, raspberry, and earthy undertones of leather and forest floor. The palate balances vibrant acidity and mid-weight tannins, layered with dark fruit, balsamic spice, and a smoky mineral finish.

Aged three years in Slavonian oak, it reflects the family’s sustainable, terroir-driven ethos. Pair with game, roasted meats, or aged cheeses for a classic Tuscan experience.
