Brunello di Montalcino 1997 - Tenuta di Torciano

Documents from as far back as 1880 mention “Brunello”. The first great official vintage of this wine dates back to 1888. Over the years it has gradually acquired greater fragrance, more velvety flavour, greater harmony and a delicate and intense bouquet. Today this red dry wine is one of Italy's best.
