"Dusty cherry, cedar, pretty florals, crushed stone and hints of undergrowth are all present in the understated yet soulful 2014 Brunello di Montalcino. The 2014 is seemingly weightless, as pretty notes of floral-laced strawberry give way to saline-minerality. The finish is long, with hints of fine tannin radiating beneath an air of red berry fruits and inner florals. This is a beautiful bottle of wine that I’m eager to pour another glass from. Made from one hectare of the family’s original vines." 90 points Eric Guido Vinous.com

Fonterenza is an old farmhouse in the small village of Colle in Montalcino, which takes its name from a spring that flows from the hill under the house. It is now owned by twin sisters Margherita and Francesca Padovani, whose family bought the estate in 1975. The sisters are originally from Milan, but spent much of their youth here and fell in love with it.

Vinification: Vines are harvested between the end of September up until 10th October. Fermentation with indigenous yeast followed by a 30 day maceration in cone shaped oak vats. The wine is matured in large 50hl and 20hl oak barrels for up to 60 months prior to bottling. 

Match it with: Wild boar or game based dishes as well as braised beef stew.
