Region: Montalcino, Tuscany, Italy (Brunello di Montalcino DOCG)
Grapes: 100% Sangiovese
Body: Full
Notes: Grand and precise. Dark cherry, dried plum, leather, tobacco, iron, and dried roses with firm, polished tannins and an extraordinarily long mineral finish. A benchmark Brunello from a benchmark vintage.
Pairing: Bistecca alla Fiorentina, wild boar, truffle pasta, aged Pecorino Toscano, or any occasion that calls for Tuscany's greatest red.
Ciacci Piccolomini Brunello di Montalcino 2020 is sourced from 8.5 hectares of certified organic estate vineyards on medium-grain soils rich in Eocene-period marl at 240–360 meters elevation — one of Montalcino's most expressive terroirs for Sangiovese. Fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel to preserve aromatic purity, then aged 30–36 months in large 20–75 hl Slavonian oak barrels followed by 8 months in bottle before release — the extended aging demanded by the DOCG's strict production regulations. The 2020 vintage in Montalcino is widely regarded as one of the great recent vintages: warm and concentrated with exceptional structural balance and aging potential. Ciacci Piccolomini has been producing Brunello from the Castelnuovo dell'Abate hamlet since the 1970s, and this bottling represents the estate at its certified organic, terroir-focused best.

What is natural wine?
Natural wine is wine made with minimal intervention from the winemaker, using organically or biodynamically grown grapes and without the addition of chemicals or additives such as sulfites. The result is a wine that is unique, expressive, and often has a more complex and nuanced flavor profile than conventional wines. Natural wine is also often associated with sustainable and ethical farming practices, making it a popular choice for those interested in environmentally friendly and socially responsible products.
