Brunello Style (Italy)

Description

Brunello is one of Italy’s most famous and prestigious wines. In Tuscany, its homeland, it shares the top spot with only the highly-prized Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and of course the ubiquitous Chianti. Modernists set the ball rolling for a ‘fruitier’ style in the 1980s, which made the wine less tannic. Sangiovese grapes are transformed into a wine with Robust characters that are world renowned.

Food Pairings:
Brunello is a great wine that deserves something substantial, a fine roast leg of lamb with rosemary, pot roast pheasant, and roast squab with truffles or that most famous dish of all bistecca alla Fiorentina, Tuscan-style steak, ideally sourced from the indigenous Chianina beef.
