Brunello di Montalcino 2013 Docg “Artisti per Frescobaldi, Sonia Kacem” Magnum - Frescobaldi

The fourth edition of "Artists for Frescobaldi," a contemporary art award conceived by the family in 2012, continues with Brunello di Montalcino DOCG born within the estate of Castelgiocondo, the Frescobaldi family's historic estate in Montalcino, one of the first four estates where Brunello production began in 1800. The wine comes from a very strict selection of sangiovese grapes, grown with scrupulous respect for all the characteristics necessary to enhance it. Thus is born, after a slow maturation in both barrique and large barrels, a wine of excellent structure, elegant, balanced, with intense aromas and great finesse. Sonia Kacem, born in Switzerland in 1985, winner of this edition of the "Artists for Frescobaldi" award with the work "Les Grands," dedicates to the Brunello Magnum a label on which a draped cloth made of ceramic stands out, between minimalism and the link with materials connected to the earth.

Tasting Notes: To the eye it has a beautiful garnet color. Ripe fruit is brought out on the nose, highlighting notes of blackberry and plum, enriched by floral touches and deep tertiary hints, where nutmeg and cloves prevail. On the palate it is full-bodied, with dense, austere tannins that make for a full, rounded drink. It closes with a finish endowed with excellent persistence.

Pairings: Perfect with braised meats, fillets and very mature cheeses.
