About this wine

Ageing

The 2011 Brunello di Montalcino Beatrice spent 45 months in wood, followed by at least 21 months of bottle ageing.

Technical data

Production of the 2011 vintage amounted to 2,503 bottles.

Tasting profile

The 2011 vintage is described as fluid and introverted.

Serving and pairing

Uncork 20 minutes before tasting to allow the wine to breathe. A Burgundy-shaped glass is recommended.

Vintage notes

The 2011 season, titled La poesia (“Poetry”), was exceptionally hot. Hot August winds dehydrated individual berries, so the bunches were painstakingly cleaned berry by berry with scissors. This work continued at night under lamps. The resulting wine is fluid and introverted.
