Castello Tricerchi Brunello di Montalcino AD 1441 Riserva 2019
An epic wine from an epic vintage! The ‘1441’ is Tricerchi’s crown offering and only produced in top vintage. Made from 100% Sangiovese, the grapes are grown in a prime parcel of calcareous clay soil in the middle of the Vigna del Velo plot. Fermentation is carried out with indigenous yeasts and the maceration on the skins is prolonged for a total of about 60 days. After fermentation is complete, the wine is then aged for 36 months in large neutral oak barrels. This is an impressive, brawny Brunello and is clearly intended to age; you could certainly stash it away for 20 years or more. However, for you impatient types, it is drinking quite rich and complex right now, with a beguiling mix of white smoke, leather, and dried meats, alongside balsamic-tinged black cherry, and ripe red and black berry fruits. Salty minerals lend a savory note while nervy acidity push and pull acroos the palate. With appropriate decanting time it truly unfolds, lending a hint as to what a few years of cellaring may reveal.

Due to the restrictions of many state laws, we only ship wine to those states where direct shipment from a retailer is permitted by law; currently we ship to AK, CA, DC, ID, LA, MO, NE, NV, NH, NM, ND, OR, VA, WV and WY. This list is subject to change without notice. In addition, each state imposes limitations on the amount of wine any particular resident may receive by direct shipment.

Please note that all orders must be placed by persons who are at least 21 years old, and that age verification will be required upon receipt of your wine. No wine will be delivered to obviously intoxicated persons and any person unable to provide age verification will forfeit their right to receive the shipment until identification is produced. In such circumstances, the order may either be held in storage at a local depot of the shipping company until appropriate identification is produced, or shipped back to the winery. All associated costs will be the responsibility of and be charged to the customer.
