BRUNELLO CERRETALTO
«The wine from a perfect year»
It is made mainly from grapes grown in the eponymous vineyard, but only in vintages in which the seasons have been perfect. It should be considered as the wine best characterised by its uniqueness, thanks to the particularities of soil and microclimate. Being a very late ripening variety, the grape harvest takes place between the middle and end of October. It matures in small oak casks for about 27 months and then in the bottle for 30 months. It is a wine with a very long cellar life: it presents rich aromas and a surprising mineral quality, capable of increasing over the years.
The vintages produced so far have been 1986, 1988, 1990, 1993, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2004 and 2006.
Serving temperature: 16-18°C; open 2-3 hours before serving and, if possible, pour immediately into a decanter, gently and delicately.
Serving suggestions: red meats, furry game, braised meats, mature cheeses and, above all, the right company…
