Tassi 2017 Brunello di Montalcino DOCG – Tuscany, Italy

Certified Organic • Single Vineyard • Limited Production

The Tassi 2017 Brunello di Montalcino DOCG is a powerful yet refined expression of Sangiovese from Castelnuovo dell’Abate, one of the most respected sub-zones of Montalcino. Produced from the Vigna Franci vineyard and bottled in strictly limited quantities (6,281 bottles), this certified-organic Brunello delivers depth, intensity, and remarkable balance—earning 92-point scores from both Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate and Vinous.

The 2017 vintage was defined by a warm summer followed by timely September rains, creating ideal conditions for Sangiovese to retain freshness while developing soft, polished tannins. Fermented with indigenous yeasts in non-vitrified concrete tanks and aged 36 months in medium-sized oak casks (30–40 hl), this wine reflects Tassi’s commitment to traditional Brunello craftsmanship with a modern sense of precision.

In the glass, the wine opens with a robust and layered bouquet of black cherry, dried plum, crushed stone, and savory spice. As it evolves, notes of wild herbs, smoky earth, balsamic cherry, and mineral salinity emerge. The palate is deeply textured and velvety, supported by vibrant acidity and firm yet well-integrated tannins that promise long-term aging.

This is a classic annata Brunello with muscle and finesse—equally compelling today with food or after short cellaring, and built to evolve gracefully for decades.
