95 Points – Wine Enthusiast

Terralsole’s 2012 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva captures the depth and polish of mature Sangiovese from one of Tuscany’s most storied appellations. Full-bodied, smooth, and expressive, this Riserva shows the richness of the vintage while retaining the savory complexity and structure expected from serious Brunello.

Blend: 100% Sangiovese

Tasting Notes: Aromas of ripe plum, black raspberry, licorice, tobacco, underbrush, and subtle coffee unfold from the glass. The palate is generous and enveloping, with dark red fruit, earthy spice, polished tannins, and a refined savory finish.

Structure: Full-bodied, glossy, mature, and polished, with fine-grained tannins and balanced depth.

Drink Window: 2019–2027

Decanting: Decant for 45–60 minutes before serving to allow the wine’s mature fruit, tobacco, and earthy Brunello character to open fully. Serve slightly below room temperature in large Burgundy or Brunello stems.

Now entering a beautiful stage of maturity, this 2012 Terralsole Riserva is a compelling choice for collectors and Brunello enthusiasts seeking a bottle with both richness and refinement. Ideal for roasted meats, aged cheeses, truffle-accented dishes, or a special dinner where classic Tuscan character is the centerpiece.
