About the wine
Indulgent and alluring, drinking Elia's ultra-refined Montalcino tastes like striking gold

Deep and intense, Elia’s Brunello is up there with the greatest of Sangiovese with it’s decadent nose of alluring lavender and spicy tobacco.
-
The palate is immediately silky soft and devilishly rich with indulgent flavours of dark chocolate, ripe black cherries and violets, all supported by a firm structure, and long sumptuous finish.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Elia Palazzesi
-
We first tried Elia’s Brunello di Montalcino at a London tasting event and it was so incredibly fresh and elegant that we decided to secure a share for Angels right there and then.
-
His winery is a family affair that’s developed over generations. The land was bought by his great-grandfather in the late 19th century, first farmed by his grandfather, and the very first vines were planted by Elia’s dad in the 1970s. Under Elia’s tutelage, the old family farm has been devoted 100% to grape-growing and become an incredible source of top-quality, organic Montalcino.
-
Elia's been making wines for over 30 years now and he still does much of the work in the vineyard himself. He looks tough when he’s all togged up in his green army t-shirt and khaki pants. But behind that facade he’s an absolute sweetheart and passionate family man who simply loves to make people happy with his wines.
