Martoccia Chianti 2023

Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Mammolo

Italy, Montalcino

The Montalcino area is steeped in rural tradition where families farmed plots of varying sizes. The medieval town of Montalcino is located on a chain of hills lying between Siena to the north and Monte Amiata to the south. The area is famous for “Brunello di Montalcino”.

The small Brunelli farm lies in the midst of the Montalcino hills, owned by Mauro Brunelli and Anna Savini and their son Luca. It covers 25 hectares of land, 15 of which are vineyards and six are planted under Brunello di Montalcino vine register for D.O.C.G. (Controlled and Guaranteed Origin). Another four hectares fall in the Montecucco area, with more vines, olives and woodland.

This Chianti is clean ruby red in colour with subtle scents of violet and red berries. The flavour is vibrant and fresh, with a fruity finish. Ideal as aperitif, with cold cuts, pasta with tomato and meat sauces, white meat and fresh cheese, salads and grilled vegetables.
