Querce Bettina Brunello di Montalcino DOCG (2008)
Wine Tasting Notes
Now in its mature phase, the 2008 Querce Bettina Brunello shows amarena cherry, dried plum and violet layered with menthol, sweet spice and a twist of orange peel. The palate is full yet polished, with silky tannins and a savory, sapid freshness that keeps it lively after more than fifteen years. It is a beautiful choice for bistecca, braised game or truffled pasta, ideally decanted an hour ahead.
Winery/Producer Highlights
Querce Bettina — Querce Bettina is a tiny, family-run estate on the western slopes of Montalcino, producing only a few thousand bottles of Brunello each year. The vineyards are farmed organically, and the family's hands-on approach places them among the region's most admired boutique producers. Sangiovese Grosso is fermented with care and aged at length in oak, crafting Brunellos known for elegance and finesse rather than sheer power.
