Brunello di Montalcino D.O.C.G.
________________________________________
The Registered and Certified Destination of Origin red wine (DOCG) has a ruby-red colour, with a rich aroma containing hints of vanilla, violets and cherries and a robust flavour that is warm and generous. It is at its best after having been decanted into a wide carafe that lets it air. Ideal with roasted meats, game, strong cheeses and flavourful dishes.
It is made in the traditional way with modern technology from the sangiovese varietal known in Montalcino as “Brunello”.
After a careful selection in the vineyard, the picked and crushed grapes are then fermented in temperature-controlled steel vats that are often stirred and left to macerate in their skins for a long time.
After vinification the wine is allowed to age for at least three years in barrels made from Slavonia wood and French oak. Four years after the harvest it is bottled and then continues its aging process in the bottle for at least four months.
When a harvest yields a particularly good vintage a small amount is left to age for yet another year in the barrel and, after bottling, continues to age for another six months before it goes on the market. The label on these bottles is distinguished by “Riserva”.

Grappa di Brunello
_____________________
Grappa distilled from grapes from our registered Brunello vineyards. The grapes are only lightly crushed so that the best qualities of the raw material are distilled. On the same day they are harvested they are sent to the Nannoni Distillery to be expertly transformed into grappa.
We sell two types of grappa:
The first is a dry and gentle white grappa that still harbours the aroma of the grapes it was made of. It is sold in 700ml and 500ml bottles.
The other grappa has an amber colour and was aged in cherry-wood barrels at the distillery. It is an especially fine grappa enjoyed by even the finest of connoisseurs. It is sold elegant in 500ml bottles.
Olio Extravergine di Oliva
____________________________
The Quercecchio estate also produces fine extra-virgin olive oil from olive trees growing on the estate, some of which are over a hundred years old.
As soon as they are harvested, the olives are taken for pressing at a local oil press equipped with modern technology.
The oil is light, free of acids and has a nice intense green colour, a slightly bitter flavour and is ideal for bruschetta, dressing salads of all types and over the al-dente pasta dishes the Mediterranean diet is so famous for.
