Terre Nere Brunello Di Montalcino 2019
Introduction
Terre Nere Brunello di Montalcino 2019 is a refined red wine produced in the Montalcino region of Tuscany, Italy. The estate is owned by Pasquale Vallone, whose family moved from Sicily to Tuscany in the mid-20th century, eventually establishing the winery after being captivated by the Montalcino landscape. Today, the third generation, including Francesca and Federico Vallone, oversees the property with a winemaking philosophy focused on minimal intervention and preserving the distinct volcanic minerality of the Castelnuovo dell'Abate subregion.
Wine Description
This wine displays a classic ruby red colour with a garnet or amber-coloured rim. The aromatic profile is lifted and floral, featuring notes of orange blossoms, potpourri, violets, and rose hips, alongside crunchy strawberries, wild dark berries, and sweet tobacco. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with an elegant yet vibrant character, offering flavours of red cherries, raspberries, and black plums supported by a pleasant backbone of acidity. The texture is defined by chewy yet fine-textured, velvety tannins that lead to a long, grounded finish with subtle balsamic and mineral notes. Crafted from 100% Sangiovese, the wine is aged for at least 24 months in large Slavonian oak barrels.
Food Pairing
The bold structure and bright acidity of this Brunello make it an excellent partner for rich, savoury dishes. It pairs exceptionally well with grilled or roasted meats, such as a traditional Tuscan bistecca alla fiorentina, lamb chops with fresh herbs, or beef bourguignon. The wine's earthy complexity also complements game meats like wild boar ragù and venison, as well as mushroom-based risottos and pasta dishes. For a cheese course, aged varieties such as Pecorino Toscano Stagionato or Parmigiano Reggiano are ideal matches.
Vintage Quality
The 2019 vintage in Montalcino is considered exceptional, often compared to the legendary 2016 for its high quality and balance. The growing season featured warm temperatures without extreme heat spikes, allowing for ideal phenolic maturity and the preservation of natural acidity. A timely cleansing rain in mid-September contributed to a healthy harvest of concentrated berries, resulting in wines noted for their breadth, depth, and significant aging potential.
