Made with 100% organically grown Sangiovese grapes, this Brunello has an intense garnet red colour. The typical  aromas of dark berries are complemented by hints of tobacco and chocolate as a result of barrel age of 4+ years. The tannins are firm, ripe, and well integrated.  Great length in the finish.

2018 vintage in Montalcino were near ideal, with average temperatures and rainfall totals. As daytime conditions were not too hot during the summer and early autumn, ripening was even, and combined with cool nights, the grapes offered very good color as well as acidity. Producers are positive, with comments on the elegance and length in the wines. Predictions for these wines to offer excellent aging potential, with peak at 15-20 years, perhaps longer.

About the Winery:

Located on the Southeast side of Montalcino La Palazetta Visconti has  20 Hectares of organically farmed vineyards. The vineyards are located on the south-eastern slope of Montalcino, overlooking the valley of the Abbey of Sant’Antimo 350 meters above sea level at the foot of Mount Amiata volcano.  The mixed soil is mostly stony limestone, and a microclimate created by the natural barrier of Mount Amiata, Poggio d’Arna, and the Orcia River, gives rise to fragrant wines that are rich in colour, with a pleasant acidity and tannins.
