Bottega is based in the Veneto where distillation is its primary business, but the company rents 1ha in the area of La Sorgente, just southwest of Montalcino town. Aged for three years in casks of five to 25 hectolitres, it offers upfront, pretty fragrances of black cherry, tarragon and dried flowers. The palate is full, with a subtle earthiness and mellow tannins.
This "Pret-A-Porter" version comes in an elaborate carry-case.

100% Sangiovese, aged for more than 2 years in durmast casks. Brunello expresses the character and nobility of the hand-harvested grapes from the Vigna del Castell and the Vigna del Velo.
Along with Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino is Tuscany's most famous DOCG and the region's boldest expression of Sangiovese. Located 30 miles south of Siena with the hilltop town of Montalcino as its epicentre, its 2,000 hectares of vines are naturally delimited by the Orcia, Asso and Ombrone valleys. Brunello is the local name for the Sangiovese Grosso clone from which Brunello di Montalcino should be made in purezza (ie 100 percent).
