2020 Geografico Brunello di Montalcino Tricerchi
How does this wine taste?
How full and heavy the wine feels in your mouth, like the difference between skimmed milk and cream. More alcohol, sugar and oak ageing make a wine fuller.
The drying, grippy feel on your gums and tongue, as with strong tea. It comes from the skins and seeds of black grapes and from oak, and softens with age.
How much sugar you taste, from dry to sweet. Fruity is not the same as sweet: a dry wine can taste of ripe fruit.
How fresh and juicy the wine is: acidity makes your mouth water. High acidity tastes lively and refreshing, low acidity soft and round.

The Geografico Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Tricerchi is a superb classic Brunello from Montalcino that never disappoints. In the glass, this Brunello has a very intense cherry-red color. The nose reveals plums and black cherries, cocoa, tar, flowers, toast, minerals, and herbs. The palate is powerful yet juicy with beautiful, clean fruit, soft tannins, and pleasant acidity. Feminine, especially for Brunello, and approachable even in its youth, it remains very reasonably priced for this type of iconic wine.
FACT: The wine is stored in our climate-controlled Wine Warehouse, and if you pick it up, you'll also receive a nice discount. We're located right next to the Rijksweg with ample parking. Click here for the address.

Cherries, plums and orange peel here with hints of cedar follow through to a medium to full body with juicy tannins that are strong yet integrated into the wine. Needs a little more fruit in the center palate. Chewy at the end. Best after 2025.

The company 'Agricoltori del Chianti Geografico' was founded in 1961. It was a cooperative that has since been taken over by Piccini. At Geografico, each vineyard that comes under management is evaluated by the geologist and the vineyard specialist. They give advice on the best grape varieties and rootstocks. They then assist the owner in setting up the vineyard and constantly in vineyard management. An expert winemaker team makes the wine. Finally, there are state of the art bottling lines. This quality philosophy is combined with terroir-orientation: the grapes for the higher wines always come from one vineyard and are therefore named after their domain. The wines are produced in a classical way with little intervention in the vinification process. This results in honest wines, pleasantly drinkable wines, which are also competitively priced.
In het glas toont deze Brunello intense kersen- en pruimtonen met nuances van cacao, teer, toast, bloemen en kruiden, terwijl sappige zuren en zachte, geïntegreerde tannines zorgen voor een krachtige maar elegante mondbeleving. Daardoor vormt hij een perfecte partner voor rundvlees en lam omdat de tannines en zuur het vet knappen en de kruidige, geroosterde smaken versterken, voor kazen zoals een gerijpte pecorino vanwege de complementaire zoutigheid en voor pasta en pizza met tomatensaus of hartige toppings omdat de zuren de tomaat frissen en het donkere fruit tegenwicht biedt. Kies bij voorkeur voor gegrild of geroosterd vlees, langzaam gestoofde ragù’s of houtovenpizza’s met pittige salami en serveer bij krachtige, gerijpte kazen om het beste uit deze wijn te halen.
