Il Palazzone is a small, environmentally engaged producer of Brunello di Montalcino DOCG. With vineyards in three areas of Montalcino, at different altitudes and exposures, the vineyard is able to bottle all the complementary aspects of Montalcino terroir into its traditional style of Brunello. 

GRAPES: Il Palazzone Brunello di Montalcino DOCG is produced with 100% Sangiovese Grosso grapes from the property in Montalcino.

VINEYARDS: The estate has three separate vineyards in quite different areas of Montalcino.

TASTING NOTES: The nose is an enticing exercise in potential; tight to begin with but the inescapable impression of whole families of aromas waiting to burst out. It is clean and brilliant, with an exciting sense of length and depth. After two hours it was still surprising with layers of minerality, forest floor and faint eucalyptus. In the mouth it is a never-ending story of complexity. Again you find, minerality from the Castelnuovo vineyard, elusive herbal notes, Palazzone-trademark licorice and violet with an inkling of dark chocolate and just a tiny hint of caramel. Pinpoint acidity gives it mouthwatering succulence and juicy vibrancy. It is structured and complex with integrated anchored tannins and a lingering multi-layered finish, as befitting the fantastic 2015 vintage.
