Terre Nere Brunello Di Montalcino 2020

Produced in the heart of the Val d'Orcia in Montalcino, Tuscany, Italy, this wine represents a deep commitment to sustainable and biodynamic viticulture. The estate, spanning nine hectares of Sangiovese, is nestled within unspoiled woods and managed with a philosophy that emphasizes craftsmanship, tradition, and a regenerative approach to nature. Manual harvesting and spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts are central to their mission of expressing the authentic soul of the Tuscan territory.

Wine Description

This 100% Sangiovese displays a medium body and a vibrant sensory profile. On the nose, it offers textbook Brunello aromas of tart blackberries, black plums, and cherries, layered with notes of orange peel, dried flowers, and earthy undertones like damp earth and leather. The palate is rich and well-balanced, featuring ripe red and black fruits complemented by hints of molten chocolate, tobacco, and cedarwood. It possesses fine-textured tannins and a lively acidity that leads to a long, spicy finish with a subtle balsamic touch.

Food Pairing

The structured body and fine acidity of this wine make it an ideal companion for rich, savory dishes. It pairs exceptionally well with grilled lamb chops seasoned with fresh herbs or a hearty beef bourguignon. For a simpler arrangement, aged cheeses such as Pecorino or Parmesan beautifully highlight the wine's fruit-forward balance.
