Terralsole Brunello Di Montalcino 2019
Introduction
This red wine originates from Italy, produced in the Tuscany region within the Brunello di Montalcino DOCG. Terralsole, which translates to 'land toward the sun', was founded in 1996 by Mario Bollag and Athena Tergis. The winery's philosophy focuses on a 'micro-cru' approach, emphasizing sustainable viticulture and a deep respect for the diverse terroirs found within their estate vineyards.
Wine Description
The Terralsole Brunello Di Montalcino 2019 displays a brilliant ruby red colour with garnet reflections. The nose is aromatic and complex, offering scents of wild berry, dark cherry, and red plum, complemented by floral notes of violet and earthy hints of tobacco and forest floor. On the palate, the wine is full bodied and well structured, featuring layers of ripe fruit, liquorice, and leather integrated with firm, velvety tannins. It is characterized by its exceptional balance and vibrant acidity, leading into a long, persistent finish with mineral and spicy undertones. This 100% Sangiovese Grosso typically has an ABV of 14.5%. The estate is certified organic, reflecting a commitment to natural vineyard management. The optimal drinking window is from 2026 through 2045.
Accolades
Wine Enthusiast - 93 points.
James Suckling - 92 points.
Jancis Robinson - 17.5/20 points.
Food Pairing
The robust structure and vibrant acidity of this Brunello make it an ideal partner for savoury, protein-rich dishes. It pairs perfectly with braised short ribs, wild boar ragù, or roasted lamb, which enhance its firm tannins and deep fruit profile. It also complements earthy dishes like mushroom risotto or pasta with leek and Gorgonzola.
Vintage Quality
The 2019 vintage in Montalcino is considered a 'magical' and exceptional year, characterized by a steady growing season without extreme heat spikes. These ideal conditions, including timely rainfall, allowed for a slow and even ripening process that achieved optimal phenolic maturity and al dente fruit character.
