The Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG 2018 is the first Brunello Riserva with the organic certification produced at Casato Prime Donne, it is characterized by a particular richness of aromas thanks to the high differences in the range of temperature between day and night during the entire maturation period and, by the evident vocation for long aging. The 2018 harvest is a twentieth century style harvest, with the grapes for the Brunello reserve harvested last to capture every ray of sunshine and pick very small bunches and berries.

At Casato Prime Donne all the vineyards are around the cellar. They grow on 4 different types of soil and with different exposure. During maturation the grapes are analyzed to follow the evolution of sugars, acids and polyphenols, i.e. the noble materials contained in the skin. Shortly before the harvest, the oenologists taste the grapes and divide the vineyards into small areas with the same level of ripeness. The calendar and “geography” of the harvest is decided on the basis of this tasting and the weather forecast. First, the oenologists decide the day on which to pick the best grapes, destined to become Brunello reserve, and build the entire program on that date collection.

Only 10,000 bottles were produced of this authentic masterpiece, with a brilliant ruby ​​red color and a complex and fine aroma were produced, which is extremely harmonious, concentrated and long on the palate with an elegance that satisfies with silky tannins and remains long after the sip.
