What to Expect
Brunello di Montalcino is certainly one of the premier expressions of Sangiovese in all of Italy. Unlike other regions, such as Chianti, Brunello must be produced from 100% Sangiovese, in fact the particular clone referred to as Brunello. The vineyards of Brunello cover a large hillside and can be roughly divided into four regions, though things like age of vines and vinification techniques can easily mask the characteristics of each zone. Brunello is uusally a medium full-bodied wine with both strong acidity and tannins that support leathery, subtly spicy tones of coffee and tobacco that add depth to the classic plum and dark cherry fruits.
Winemakers Notes
"Red Wine Italian Red by Casanova di Neri from Tuscany, Italy. Balanced and refined. Berry, tobacco and mineral aromas last for minutes on the palate. Full-bodied, with lots of silky tannins. A beauty. Best after 2006. -Wine Spectator ... "

Reviews Add a Review
[BFMS] Not decanted, drank over 3 hours. Started overwhelmingly earthy with mushroom and leather on the nose and palate. After ~1.5 hours mor restrained earth on the nose, on the palate more modern qualites, plum, coffee, chocolate, mushroom, very thick and rich. At the end of the bottle, become a little more femine and restrained with plum and spearmint. Overall a very enjoyable wine. KAB loved it. Bought a couple more. Drinking nicely now but need 2 hrs decanting; will improve with time.
