Terralsole Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2015

Terralsole is a boutique estate located in Montalcino, Tuscany, founded by the Vasco family with a focus on low-intervention viticulture and traditional Brunello production. The estate’s vineyards sit at varying elevations, benefiting from excellent sun exposure and the cooling influences that help preserve freshness and aromatic complexity.

Brunello di Montalcino is made exclusively from Sangiovese Grosso, the local clone of Sangiovese. The Riserva designation indicates extended ageing and selection of superior fruit. The 2015 vintage in Tuscany is widely regarded as outstanding, offering excellent ripeness, concentration, and balance thanks to warm, stable growing conditions.

Fermentation is carried out with extended maceration to build structure and complexity, followed by long ageing in oak casks and barrels before additional bottle maturation. The style combines traditional Brunello structure with richness and polish from the exceptional vintage.
