The average altitude of about 200 meters above sea level, the south\/west exposure, and the clayey soil of Pliocene origin, rich in skeleton and well-drained, contribute to defining a rich, balanced, and structured profile. The selection of \u003cstrong\u003eSangiovese\u003c\/strong\u003e comes from ancient vineyards and tells an authentic and rigorous interpretation of the denomination, with limited yields and a clear focus on grape quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it presents a \u003cstrong\u003eruby red\u003c\/strong\u003e color crossed by garnet reflections, a sign of an already interesting evolution and significant potential.

On the palate, the wine shows a full and enveloping structure, with ripe and soft tannins well supported by lively freshness and good salinity. The sip is long, harmonious, and persistent, with a slightly toasted finish that elegantly accompanies the closure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRecommended pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003eBrunello di Montalcino DOCG 2018 Vigna Nastagio\u003c\/strong\u003e pairs effectively with flavorful and structured dishes from Italian cuisine.
