Castello Tricerchi Brunello 750ml (750ml)

Castello Tricerchi extends over 400 hectares on the northern slopes of Montalcino. 13 hectares are dedicated to the cultivation of Sangiovese Grosso , the vines which produce Brunello and Rosso di Montalcino . The Castle of the Tricerchi family , completed in 1441, dominates the property and is now the home and headquarters of the Tricerchis’ direct ancestors, the Squarcia family. 

The vineyards are planted at 290 m on the northern slopes of Montalcino, which are characterised by cooler temperatures and marked thermal variations.  The estate is comprised of 13 hectares of vines, all of them Sangiovese Grosso, which surround the castle in 7 separate plots cultivated using spurred cordon and guyot: La Vigna del Velo, whose name derives from the chapel devoted to the Virgin of the Veil, the Vigna del Castello, the Vigna Sant’Anna, the Vigna del Lago, the Vigna dei Cipressi, the Vigna del Piano and the Vigna Nuova.  The soil composition is a homogeneous limestone clay and sand. The vines are almost exclusively north facing which allows for uniform ripening.  Castello Tricerchi farms according to organic principles with great respect for nature.
