Brunello di Montalcino, Fonterenza

Brunello di Montalcino, Fonterenza - 2017

Item # 39421 750 mL

Made from the Sangiovese Grosso grape variety that was planted in the late 1990s. This comes from a 1.6 ha lot of vines, Vigna del Bosco, planted on a north facing site that is surrounded by forest. Elegant in style, this is a result of the signature of the winery but also of the finesse of this impeccable vintage.
