{"product_id":"26305_8dee82299131b7d","title":"JG Benda Brunello di Montalcino 2021","description":"\u003cp\u003eProduced by J.G. Benda in Montalcino, Tuscany, the Brunello di Montalcino 2021 represents one of the most exciting new names emerging from this historic appellation. Founded by John Benda, a London-born winemaker who grew up in Rome, J.G. Benda is a young estate built around a deep passion for Sangiovese and a desire to create wines of purity, elegance and authenticity. After leaving a career in finance, Benda moved to Montalcino and trained under Alessandro Mori at the legendary Il Marroneto, one of the region’s most respected producers, before establishing his own project. Despite being a relatively recent arrival, J.G. Benda has quickly gained a cult following among collectors and sommeliers for its extremely limited production, meticulous vineyard work and beautifully refined style. Farming organically with biodynamic practices, the estate works on a tiny scale, with the Brunello di Montalcino 2021 limited to just 2,450 bottles, making it one of the rarest new-generation Brunellos available.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMade from 100% Sangiovese, J.G. Benda Brunello di Montalcino 2021 is sourced from high-altitude vineyards around 500–600 metres above sea level, where limestone-rich soils, cooler temperatures and natural biodiversity help preserve freshness, finesse and aromatic complexity. Fermented with native yeasts and aged traditionally in large French and Slavonian oak botti, the wine reflects a philosophy centred on minimal intervention and maximum expression of terroir. The 2021 vintage, widely regarded as one of the finest recent years in Tuscany, produced wines with exceptional balance, concentration and ageing potential. The wine displays aromas of Morello cherry, wild strawberry and red plum, followed by violet, dried herbs, tobacco, spice and subtle earthy notes. On the palate, it is elegant and precise, with vibrant acidity, refined tannins and a long, mineral-driven finish. A remarkable small-production Brunello that combines the classic soul of Montalcino with the energy and ambition of a rising cult producer, it is a wine destined to reward careful cellaring for many years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Veraison Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60195026338126,"sku":"26305","price":160.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/5061\/1516\/files\/20260722_145403.jpg?v=1784742864","url":"https:\/\/blackrockcellar.com\/products\/26305_8dee82299131b7d","provider":"Blackrock Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
