Torre Guelfa Brunello di Montalcino

Pairs with: A rich wild boar ragù, a thick-cut ribeye steak, or a board of aged Pecorino cheese and savory charcuterie

Good for: Gifting a serious Italian wine enthusiast or decanting for a milestone, centerpiece dinner

Grape: 100% Sangiovese (specifically the Grosso clone)

I am from: Montalcino, Tuscany, Italy

The Story: Torre Guelfa is essentially the "second label" of the famed La Gerla estate, which was founded in 1976 by the late Sergio Rossi. Benefiting from the exact same prestigious, high-altitude Montalcino vineyards and meticulous winemaking as their flagship wines, this Brunello delivers an incredibly authentic, old-school Tuscan pedigree at a fantastic value.

Why You'll Love Me: It perfectly balances raw, earthy power with tailored elegance. You will find a deeply complex bouquet of dried dark cherry, crushed blackberry, and classic savory notes of leather, tobacco, and baking spice. It is full-bodied and beautifully structured, with the firm tannins and mouthwatering acidity necessary to keep it evolving wonderfully in your glass—or in your cellar for years to come.
