Tasting Note:
Brunello is about power with restraint, and Il Cocco lands in that classic lane: sour cherry, dried rose, orange peel, leather, and tobacco, with savory herbs and a stony mineral backbone. The palate is firm and structured, with real tannin and a long, dry finish that makes it feel made for food, not for easy sipping. Give it air and it opens into a more perfumed, silky place. A serious bottle for bistecca, ragù, mushrooms, braises, and aged Pecorino when you want dinner to feel like an occasion.

About the Producer:
Il Cocco is a traditional-minded Montalcino estate focused on classic Brunello character: patient élevage, structure, and balance that rewards decanting now and cellaring later.
