TOSCANA CLASSICA
Boscoselvo
Brunello di Montalcino DOCG
Considered the best red wine in the world. Thanks to its excellent qualities it is without any doubt a wine for great occasions. The long four-year ageing, part of wich in wood, gives it a strong body, a long intense smell and a wrapping full taste with hints of vanilla and tobacco.
