Product Notes

Famiglia Cotarella Brunello di Montalcino Le Macioche is a sophisticated Tuscan wine, bringing a luxurious blend of berries, rose petals and mild spices. Its violet tone, bespoke of its matured grapes, enhances its refined beauty. On the palate, it reveals intense layers of black cherry and plum, accompanied by notes of chocolate and tobacco, leading to a lasting, mineral-rich finish. Aged to perfection in French oak barrels, this wine is a harmonious fusion of robust structure and velvety softness. Perfect with steak or game dishes, it adds an opulent flair to any gourmet dinner. It's truly an exquisite embodiment of Italian viticulture.

Tasting Notes

A ruby red wine concentrated and brilliant. On the nose, it has notes of withered wild plum and dehydrated cherry. It has earthy aroma and notes of fresh juniper underwood, dried flowers and white musk. The taste releases an evolution for the presence of elegant, silky and rich tannins. Clean, deep and sapid with a long lasting finishing. Unique and recognizable for tone and frankness.
