Brunello di Montalcino, Tuscany, Italy
About the producer:
Brunello di Montalcino of Tuscany has been called The King of Wines and this king is what Cortonesi specializes in. The Cortonesis established La Mannella in the 70s, covering 138 acres in one of the most storied areas of the entire region of Montalcino, but only 19 of those acres are dedicated to producing a world-class Brunello. They started commercially selling their wine in 1985. And today, the wines are in the more-than-capable hands of Tommaso Cortonesi, a third-generation winemaker.
The first vintage of Cortonesis Brunello came in 1990, which took advantage of the rocky, well-drained soils of the vineyard site, ensuring a long-aging wine. Modern technological advances, too, go a long way in producing outstanding wine.
