Brunello del Montalcino wine, a famous red Italian wine like that of Nobile di Montepulciano, is a DOCG wine of the Sangiovese grape (the local name Brunello was given to this Sangiovese clone grape). To become Brunello, the wine must age for four years, three of which must be in large oak casks. If it is aged for five years or over, it is then designated as Riserva.
