Description

This 1989 Brunello di Montalcino has developed the complex, refined character of a well-aged Sangiovese. The bouquet reveals aromas of dried cherry, plum, leather, tobacco, and hints of forest floor, cedar, and subtle spice. On the palate it is full-bodied yet elegant, with softened tannins, balanced acidity, and flavours of stewed red fruit, earthy herbs, and a gentle savoury undertone. The finish is long, harmonious, and lingering, reflecting the wine’s maturity and Tuscan pedigree.

Serving Suggestions:
For optimal enjoyment, stand the bottle upright for 24–48 hours before serving to allow any sediment to settle. Carefully decant the wine to separate it from the sediment. Serve at 17 °C (63 °F) after decanting for 30–40 minutes to allow the aromas to fully open. Pairs beautifully with braised or roasted meats, game, mushroom risotto, aged cheeses such as Pecorino or Parmigiano Reggiano, and classic Tuscan dishes like pappardelle al cinghiale or ribollita.

For wines of this age, the cork may crumble when opening—this is normal and does not affect the quality of the wine. As with many mature wines, individual bottles may show some variation, reflecting their unique ageing journey. The evolved, savoury character of older wines may not appeal to every palate, but for those who appreciate the grace of time, it offers real depth and authenticity.
