Ripe berries and plums with fresh flowers and cedar on the nose. Some tar and asphalt, too. Full-bodied with round, chewy tannins. Quite a full, rich red. Drink after 224.
This Brunello is the most representative of the Abbadia Ardenga estate. It is the best expression of the profound bond between the Sangiovese vine and the territory of Montalcino. The grapes, Sangiovese grosso, are harvested by hand at the beginning of October. The marl soil, rich in mineral salts, allows the grapes to reach perfect ripeness, giving the wine a wide range of fine aromas and great structure. Vinified in stainless steel, the fermentation phase lasts for about 18 days. Then, after racking, the wine is transferred to Slavonian oak casks, where it rests for no less than 36 months. This is followed by another 12 months in stainless steel before bottling and no less than a year of refinement in the bottle before being officially presented to the market. A long wait that is amply rewarded from the very first taste. In the glass, in fact, one discovers a wine characterised by a beautiful ruby red colour, with garnet highlights, and endowed with a fine bouquet of ample and ethereal aromas. In the mouth it is a full-bodied wine, warm and decisive but at the same time velvety and harmonious. This is the wine to propose to your best friends, perhaps at a nice dinner with roasted meats and mature cheeses.
A passion for Brunello di Montalcino. This simple statement greets visitors to the website of the Abbadia Ardenga winery, a historic winery of Brunello di Montalcino. An ancient history, the property once belonged to none other than the powerful Piccolomini family, including a Pope Pius II who built the town of Pienza, a masterpiece of the Renaissance. Today, the estate consists of two separate nuclei in the commune of Montalcino, for a total of 650 hectares. Of these, only ten are reserved for vineyards. Cultivated only with Sangiovese, they produce about 40 thousand bottles per year, divided between Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, Rosso di Montalcino DOC and a Rosso IGT. The vineyards are located in a hilly area with excellent south-eastern exposure, on the Siena side of the Montalcino municipality. On the other land, different varieties of herbaceous plants are cultivated and livestock is bred. Thanks to the integration of these activities, it is possible to use minimal quantities of fertilisers and chemical products. If not organic, the products of Abbadia Ardenga are therefore healthy, genuine and of high quality.
