Maura and Michele have embarked on a further exploration into "goodness", with the desire to add something extra to the glass. A quote from Vasco: "I don't have fury, huh, it's important that the grapes have the best concentration of sugars and an excellent alcohol content - and he would grab a tuft of his white hair while laughing - important that it's good......" An extreme elegance and finesse of the wine is also given by its aging in small barrels, exchanging the sweetness of the Sangiovese fruit with the silkiness of the carefully measured woods, achieving a perfect balance.
Introduced in 2024, the Brunello di Montalcino Reserve Penna Bianca is the flagship wine of Vasco Sassetti. Its aromas make you feel, or better yet glimpse, those notes of sweet boisé, elegant notes of roasted coffee and bitter cocoa blended with the still lively marasca cherry and a hint of cinnamon spice. On the palate, one perceives this excess of tannins, rich in fine sweet composition and length, which harmonizes well with the chocolate and spice notes perceived in the aroma, in short, a small and nourished symphony of warm and sweet sensations that establish the tradition from large barrels to small casks, the winery grows and evolves...
Good feelings to those of you who have Penna Bianca in your glass!
