Brunello Riserva

Stews, slow-cooked meat dishes, and aged cheeses.

The 2010 grape harvest ended on October 20. The year’s spring season was notable for frequent rainfall, which challenged the winegrowers both in managing the vegetation and maintaining it healthy while at the same time keeping ground water levels well supplied. The summer months were defined by an ideal climate of hot and sunny days, and cool nights, which lasted until the end of the season. The grapevines had the opportunity to express themselves at their best, and the grapes reached the winery in astate of optimal ripeness.

From harvest through the 1 January of the 6th year, with a minimum of 2 years spent in oak and 6 months in the bottle

The Marchesi de' Frescobaldi is one of the most significant wine producers in Italy with nine estates—and roughly 2 500 acres—in Tuscany. The family has been growing wine since the late 19th century when they became the first in Tuscany to import and plant French vine cuttings.
