SASSO BRUNO

Sasso Bruno is the wine that places Sasso di Sole at the absolute forefront of Brunello di Montalcino production — a wine of the strongest character and natural elegance that has accumulated international recognition from five of the most authoritative wine publications in the world: Wines Critic 96 points, Falstaff 94 points, Vinous 93 points, Wine Enthusiast 92 points, and James Suckling 91 points.

The wine is produced from the best Sangiovese Grosso grapes cultivated with care and in total respect for nature and traditions — the Terzuoli family's most selective and most deliberate production, realised through manual harvesting, long fermentation with indigenous yeasts on the skins, and slow rest in the large Slavonian oak barrels that are the signature vessels of their cellar. Every step is the most demanding version of what the estate does throughout its range.

The production philosophy is identical to the standard Brunello and the Riserva — indigenous yeasts, large barrels, extended ageing — but the grape selection is the determining variable. Only the best Sangiovese Grosso from the estate's vineyards, cultivated with the meticulous care that the Terzuoli family applies to every plant throughout the year, enters the Sasso Bruno production. The result is a wine that begins with superior raw material and refines it through the same patient, traditional approach.

Intense ruby red with garnet reflections — the colour of a wine of genuine depth and development. The nose is intense, persistent, fine, floral, fruity, and spicy — a complex aromatic profile of rare breadth. On the palate, the wine is dry, warm, soft, quite fresh, quite tannic, savoury, full-bodied, balanced, intense, very persistent, and fine. It is a wine of extraordinary completeness.
