Brunello di Montalcino

Our Wines

Vini Lazzeretti

An elegant and complex wine.

Garnet red, offering a complex bouquet of ripe fruit, liquorice, leather, and Mediterranean scrub. Structured tannins with a long persistence. While young, Brunello Lazzeretti expresses its best when paired with tagliata and Bistecca alla Fiorentina. As it matures, it becomes an ideal companion for fur and feathered game, wild game, black truffle, and long-aged cheeses.
