Notes
Ruby red closer to pomegranate, after some years acquires a tint of amber. Complex intensive and elegant bouquet with scent of undergrowth and predominance of violet and musk. The taste is strong, hot, dry but not much, pleasantly tannic, lively, harmonious and lingering.
A perfect complement to red game meat, roasted or barbecued, and to the well-seasoned first course in accordance with Italian tradition. It's a perfect complement to cheeses with a strong taste (pecorino, parmigiano reggiano, cheeses of alpine meadows etc).
Nose: Dark cherry and plum, with hints of leather, tobacco, and earth.
Palate: Full-bodied and powerful: A rich and concentrated wine with a substantial mouthfeel. Expect dark cherry, plum, and potentially blackberry to be the dominant flavors.
Finish: Long and lingering with gripping tannins that leave you craving more and more.
93-Points James Suckling
A solid and toned 2017 with firm, polished tannins that frame this large-bodied Brunello in an attractive way. Dark berries, walnuts, black earth and mushrooms. Flavorful finish. Well done for the vintage, but needs two or three years to soften. Try after 2023.
Pairing
Grilled red meat: A classic pairing for Brunello. Think ribeye steak, grilled lamb chops, or venison. The richness of the meat stands up well to the wine's power, while the tannins help cut through any fat.
Roasted game: Wild boar, duck, or other game meats pair beautifully with Brunello. The gamy flavors are balanced by the wine's complexity.
Hearty stews: A rich beef stew or slow-cooked ragu is a great match for Brunello. The wine can handle the robust flavors of the dish.
History
The Villa S. Restituta farm is one of the oldest in the community of Montalcino. For many centuries it's a property of the Castelli Martinozzi family as testify the chapel joined to the landlord's villa where the ancestors of different generations found their burial, the stem on the main gate and the ancient clock turret whose strikes echoed for centuries in the surrounding valley.
