Brunello di Montalcino 1998 (27th in 2003 WS’ TOP 100): a WFTI exclusive directly from the winemaker private cellar-collection

A simple Montalcino winery, a serious farm, a “no frills” winemakers family that went up to the Wine Spectator’s TOP100 prestigious ranking.

Today you can taste exactly that wine, that vintage, taken from the personal collection of the owner.

You’ll be guided in your visit in the cellar and walk in the vineyards by a professional Sommelier that also will serve and explain the vertical (old vintages) tasting impossible elsewhere.

Then transfer to the historical centre of Montalcino, in a panoramic lounge or terrace (overlooking UNESCO World Heritage Site of Val d’Orcia), to enjoy another astonishing emotional experience: a custom made Tuscan menù designed jointly between Marco Tenerini and the Chef to obtain the PERFECTION of pairing with the wines of Casanuova delle Cerbaie.
