Padelletti, a historic estate in Montalcino, is celebrated for its traditional approach to winemaking, producing Brunello di Montalcino that exemplifies the classic Sangiovese character and the unique terroir of the region.
- WINEMAKER: Carlo Padelletti
- FARMING: Sustainable practices
- VARIETY: 100% Sangiovese
- TERROIR: Vineyards are located northeast of Montalcino, just beneath the town, on limestone-rich calcareous clay soils, contributing to the wine's structure and minerality.
- VINIFICATION: Hand-harvested grapes undergo fermentation with indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by extended maceration to extract color and tannins.
- AGING: The wine is aged for 36 months in large Slavonian oak casks, allowing for gradual development and integration of flavors.
- TASTING NOTES: Enticing aromas of dog rose, violet, forest berry, dark spice, crushed mint, and a whiff of flint. On the linear, precise palate, a backbone of firm but refined tannins and bright acidity support juicy red cherry, orange zest, licorice, and tobacco. Lay this down for several more years and you’ll be rewarded with even more complexity. Drink 2028–2044.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: Pairs well with roasted meats, game, hearty pasta dishes, and aged cheeses.
- SCORES:
Note: The 2019 vintage is considered exceptional, with critics praising its density, complexity, and balance.
