Madonna Nera, Brunello di Montalcino, 2019

Brunello isn’t cheap. That’s because it has strict ageing requirements.

But it's that discipline that places this wine style at the very peak of Tuscan winemaking - which is saying something.

Not to mention Brunello's ageing ability. Like a good goalie in fantasy football - set and forget.

This is matured for 30 months in tonneaux - bigger than a barrique to stop the wine getting too oaky.
