It presents a structured style and a texture of \u003cstrong\u003edense and silky tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e that pleasantly envelop the palate. The sensory profile is intense and spicy, characterised by a perfect correspondence between nose and palate, culminating in a \u003cstrong\u003elong persistence\u003c\/strong\u003e. Fermentation in steel and ageing in barrels help to define the deep and distinctive identity of this label.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes come from the \u003cstrong\u003eeastern slope of Montalcino\u003c\/strong\u003e, in the heart of the Sienese countryside. The vineyards, located between 240 and 300 metres above sea level, benefit from a \u003cstrong\u003enorth and north-east exposure\u003c\/strong\u003e that encourages slow and steady ripening of the bunches. The soil is characterised by ancient clay-based deposits with \u003cstrong\u003econglomerates and gravel\u003c\/strong\u003e of lacustrine origin, enriched with calcareous and schist components. This particular geology gives the wine a strong territorial identity, in a landscape recognised as a World Heritage Site.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vinification process involves manual harvesting of the grapes and temperature-controlled fermentation in steel tanks. An initial phase of \u003cstrong\u003ecold maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e precedes extraction at higher temperatures to optimise colour and structure. Malolactic fermentation takes place in cement, steel and wooden vats to balance the natural acidity. The process concludes with a prolonged \u003cstrong\u003eageing in barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e and subsequent rest in the bottle, which give a ruby colour with garnet highlights and a full, harmonious sip, where notes of \u003cstrong\u003emorello cherry\u003c\/strong\u003e and spicy hints stand out.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Brunello di Montalcino Comunali 2021 from San Filippo is born in the heart of a territory recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. On the eastern slope, the vineyards grow on \u003cstrong\u003eclay and gravel soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, enjoying an ideal exposure for the perfect ripening of the grapes. The October harvest faithfully renews a \u003cstrong\u003ecenturies-old tradition\u003c\/strong\u003e, capturing the authentic essence of the terroir in the glass. The excellence of this vintage is confirmed by \u003cstrong\u003e97 points from James Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e, attesting to a red wine of absolute prestige, destined for a long and noble evolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"San Filippo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46811483177131,"sku":"61446","price":63.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/san-filippo-brunello-di-montalcino-2021_61446_1_1ae66b0a-0ecf-40e2-a981-eeddb46668d0.webp?v=1781194102","url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/en-se\/products\/san-filippo-brunello-di-montalcino-2021","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
