The estate draws on three Montalcino vineyard sources and ferments them separately, then treats its Riserva as a distinct expression with its own oak program rather than an extension of the standard Brunello.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMontalcino, about 70 miles south of Florence, is warmer and drier than neighboring Chianti, and Brunello di Montalcino is made from Sangiovese, including a local clone called Brunello. The 2019 growing season is widely regarded as exceptional in the appellation, with a warm but rarely excessive summer and well-timed rain that favored freshness alongside structure. As a Riserva, it also ages longer than standard Brunello before release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eVerbena's Riserva style leans toward dark, ripe berry, spice, and hazelnut aromas over a full-bodied palate of rounded, dusty tannins, closing on a savory finish. The fresh, structured character of the 2019 vintage points to a long life ahead.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Verbena","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50572229542074,"sku":"105261","price":65.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0724\/6836\/5498\/files\/VerbenaBrunelloRiservaBottle.jpg?v=1790707521","url":"https:\/\/bassins.com\/products\/2019-verbena-brunello-di-montalcino-riserva-750ml","provider":"MacArthur Beverages","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
