Brunello Officium is the result of intense organoleptic research on Sangiovese grosso. A unique terroir that can produce an iconic wine, the excellence of a great land and meticulous cultivation of this grape in a particular area of Montalcino, where the soil is rich in fossils, with Galestro clay and Alberese limestone, and can create deep, elegant and long-lived wines.

Aged for 36 months in large barrels depending on the vintage and 1-2 years in cement and steel tanks. Aging of at least 4 months in the bottle. Released only after 5 years from the harvest year.

Tasting Note: On the nose, it has the fragrance of spices, small red fruits, berries, and underbrush. Juniper, humus, light nuances of flowers, and hints of licorice and black pepper. On the palate, it is crisp and fresh, medium-bodied, with good acidity and well-integrated tannins. It closes with balsamic and spicy notes.

Pairing Suggestion: Red meats, braised meats, and game, aged and blue cheeses.

Region: Tuscany, Italy

Blend: Sangiovese

Fattoria Calappiano

The Abbey of Sant’Antimo stands on Montalcino’s hills, hidden among the vines and olive trees that extend as far as the eye can see. The legend goes that in 771, Emperor Charlemagne, returning from Rome with his troops, stopped on the hillock in front of the Abbey. Here the troops found relief by treating themselves with medicinal plants cultivated by the Benedictine monks and drinking from a spring with therapeutic properties. This secret place owes its Poggio Scudieri name to the pilgrims, merchants, soldiers, and squires who stopped here passing along the Via Francigena.
