Sangiovese at its purest. It is produced exclusively in the best years.
Very short winter pruning, removal in spring of any less than perfect bunches. Summer thinning of the grapes that could compromise each plant’s ability to riper every bunch to perfection. Hand picking, with grading and drastic performed in the vineyard, removing any imperfect grapes.
After ageing for 40 months in 20 hl Slavonian oak barrels it obtains its delicacy and roundness and develops its austere and imposing aroma. It completes its evolution in the bottle for at least 12 months. It offers a fine and expansive fragrance of red fruit and is strong and dense on the palate with long, balanced and elegant taste embellished by a great tannin structure. Colour ruby red with garnet red reflections. Scent intense, excellent, broad bouquet, spicy (liquorice, tobacco, black pepper, chocolate) and long lasting with hints of brushwood, red berries and soft humus and mushroom. Taste dry, warm, soft with velvety tannins, balanced, very intense and very persistent.
It has always been the best results of a very careful work in the three best Brunello vineyards of the estate and from the harvest 2012, after more than a decade of experimental research, we decide to dedicate the fruit of this single vineyards (Duelecci Ovest and East depending on the year) and we’ll produce the Brunello Docg Riserva from the east part (EST) of the vineyard or from the west part (OVEST) depending on the season and in particular the particulary pebbly soil on the east side is suitable for cooler summers, instead the richer soil on the west side brings out its best properties during hotter summers as a superb example of the best synthesis of terroir.
The character of the vintage will be defined directly on the label: Brunello Riserva DUELECCI EST or DUELECCI OVEST.
Riserva Brunello pairs superbly with Italian and International cuisine; tipical tuscan dishes, roasts, fowl and game, mushrooms, red meats and seasoned sheep's cheeses.
It is considered a ‘wine for meditation’ especially the major vintages, well cellared and served at their prime. Older vintages bottles should be opened several hours before serving, or decanted, and served at around 18-20°.
