1999 Tenuta Friggiali Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, Tuscany, Italy

The 1999 Tenuta Friggiali Brunello di Montalcino DOCG is a mature and expressive example of classic Tuscan Sangiovese from the Centolani family’s estate on the southwest slopes of Montalcino, a region famed for producing ageworthy, structured red wines.

After more than two decades of bottle evolution, it typically shows developed aromas of leather, tobacco, dried cherry, forest floor and spice alongside echoes of its original red fruit character, with soft, integrated tannins and lively acidity that keep the wine balanced and long on the palate. 

This Brunello’s savory complexity and nuanced tertiary notes make it a rewarding companion to rich Italian fare such as braised beef, wild game, porcini mushroom pastas or aged pecorino, offering a classic, elegant experience for lovers of well-aged Italian reds.
