2019 Brunello di Montalcino Fornacina
Impossibile caricare la disponibilità di ritiro
Produced from 100% Sangiovese, this wine spends four years maturing in barrel and bottle before release. Its ruby-red colour with garnet highlights reflects its 4-year ageing. On the nose, it reveals intense aromas of ripe red fruit with subtle spice notes. The palate is full and persistent, with soft, elegant tannins that add depth and finesse.
Producer description:
On the outskirts of Montalcino, run by the Biliorsi family, Fornacina wine estate was founded by Ruggero Biliorsi in the 80s and is now run by brother, Simon and Mauro. The estate produces Brunello di Montalcino, Rosso di Montalcino, and a Riserva when the vintage allows, rooted in family passion handed down through generations. The name “Fornacina” reflects the area’s history: derived from “fornace”. In the 19th century, this region was known for brick-making, and nearby localities share similar names such as Fornacina, Fornacella, Fornace, now recognised on Montalcino’s maps.
