This Brunello comes from Il Paradiso di Manfredi’s organic vineyards on the northern slopes of Montalcino at around 330 meters altitude. Fermentation occurs naturally with an extended maceration on the skins, after which the wine matures for about thirty-six months in large Slavonian oak casks and spends an additional year aging in bottle. The 2017 vintage was notably hot and dry in Montalcino, but the estate’s high-elevation vineyards preserved freshness and balance. The wine offers complex aromas of leather, freshly turned earth, and sweet tobacco alongside black cherry and wild berries. Vibrant acidity and polished tannins give the wine structure and longevity while maintaining a clear expression of terroir.
