The estate was founded in the 1998s by Alessandro Mori, who chose this zone specifically for its altitude, exposure to cooling air currents from Monte Amiata, and soils rich in galestro and clay. From the outset, Mori committed to organic farming, rejecting chemical inputs in favour of manual vineyard work, low yields and long growing cycles. Vineyards sit at higher elevations than much of Montalcino, which slows ripening and preserves acidity, resulting in a more classical, tension driven expression of Sangiovese. La Palazzetta has always aligned itself with a traditional Brunello philosophy, favouring long macerations, large neutral oak casks and extended ageing over modern extraction or barrique influence, with the Riserva bottling reserved only for vintages and parcels that can sustain prolonged maturation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1814\" data-start=\"1309\"\u003eThe Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2019 comes from the estate’s oldest vines, selected from higher elevation parcels with galestro and clay soils that naturally preserve acidity and structure. The 2019 vintage was balanced and classical, producing wines of depth without excess. Extended ageing has shaped a wine that is firm and composed, with layered dark fruit, savoury notes and a strong mineral backbone. Tannins are present but refined, giving the wine both authority and long term ageing potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1867\" data-start=\"1816\"\u003eOrigin \u003cstrong data-end=\"1865\" data-start=\"1823\"\u003eBrunello di Montalcino, Tuscany, Italy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1892\" data-start=\"1869\"\u003eGrapes \u003cstrong data-end=\"1890\" data-start=\"1876\"\u003eSangiovese\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1912\" data-start=\"1894\"\u003eVintage \u003cstrong data-end=\"1910\" data-start=\"1902\"\u003e2019\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1933\" data-start=\"1914\"\u003eAlcohol \u003cstrong data-end=\"1931\" data-start=\"1922\"\u003e14.5%\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1986\" data-start=\"1935\"\u003eStyle \u003cstrong data-end=\"1984\" data-start=\"1941\"\u003eStructured, traditional, age worthy red\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2010\" data-start=\"1988\"\u003eBottle size \u003cstrong data-end=\"2008\" data-start=\"2000\"\u003e75cl\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2203\" data-start=\"2012\"\u003eWinemaking \u003cstrong data-end=\"2201\" data-start=\"2023\"\u003eHand harvested, spontaneous fermentation, long maceration, aged in large neutral oak casks for extended élevage, bottled after prolonged maturation with minimal sulphur added\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2284\" data-start=\"2205\"\u003eNotes \u003cstrong data-end=\"2284\" data-start=\"2211\"\u003eOrganic, Low intervention, Sustainable Viticulture, Indigenous Grapes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Podere La Palazzetta","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55428581294456,"sku":"BRUNELRIS-19-PAL-RED","price":66.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0040\/6070\/8993\/files\/Brunello_Riserva.png?v=1769190157","url":"https:\/\/sipwines.shop\/products\/brunello-di-montalcino-riserva-podere-la-palazzetta-2019","provider":"SipWines Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
