Cortonesi

Cortonesi is synonymous with excellence in Brunello di Montalcino, the “King of Wines.” Since establishing La Mannella in the 1970s on 138 historic acres in the heart of Tuscany’s renowned Montalcino region, the Cortonesi family has dedicated 19 acres to crafting a world-class Brunello. Commercially launching their wine in 1985, they have continuously honed their craft, blending the rich tradition of the land with modern winemaking technology. Today, under the skilled guidance of third-generation winemaker Tommaso Cortonesi, their vineyards yield a Brunello that perfectly balances heritage with innovation.

A crown jewel in the Cortonesi portfolio, the Brunello di Montalcino Poggiarelli hails from a Grand Cru single vineyard of just under 5 acres on the south-eastern side of Montalcino. This vibrant, powerful wine boasts a signature minerality that elevates its bright red fruit flavors, harmoniously complemented by layers of dark fruit, balsam herb, firm tannins, and fresh acidity. Each sip encapsulates the legacy and passion of Cortonesi, making it a true testament to the enduring allure of Tuscany’s premier wine.
