Brunello di Montalcino

Producers and Wine Reviews about the "Brunello di Montalcino DOCG" Show in wein.plus:places

DOCG area for red wine in the Italian region of Tuscany. The zone encompasses the slopes around the picturesque town of Montalcino, located 40 kilometers south of Siena in the province of the same name. Other DOC areas in Montalcino include Moscadello di Montalcino, Rosso di Montalcino, and Sant’Antimo.
