Tasting "Il Quercione" is very useful to discover how much sangiovese can express even several years after the harvest: in fact, it is not often that one comes across a Brunello Di Montalcino Riserva DOCG endowed with this completeness of taste, and with an olfactory spectrum so well exhaustive of the potential of this grape variety over time.
Tasting Notes.: nn the glass it manifests itself with a ruby red color, very deep and impenetrable. Extensive and enveloping are the aromas on the nose, with notes of berries, leather, leather, licorice, tobacco and ash. On the palate it is opulent, rich, almost tactile, with very well worked tannins. It closes with a decidedly persistent finish.
Pairings: an important structure, thus requiring dishes with elaborate preparations. Excellent with game and red meats, it also pairs well with white Alba truffles and very mature cheeses. It is a knockout with stewed venison.
