Sasso Di Sole's Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is aged for 48 months in large, used Slavonian oak barrels, following Tuscan tradition. These large (225-liter) barrels allow the grapes and wood to interact slowly over a longer time to give the wine its delicate flavor. This Riserva is a wine with unique characteristics of power, elegance, breadth, and austerity. A first taste shows a strong impact of raspberry, blackberry, and licorice, with tannins smoothed by long aging in large barrels, and a long and persistent finish.
