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.

Shows fantastic aromas of crushed blackberry, with beautiful undertones of cream and vanilla. Full-bodied, with loads of new oak. Perhaps a little too much. But has outstanding fruit, with polished tannins. Best after 2009...92" WS04/07.

Rating: 3/5 - As reviewed by Decanter Aromatic, dried flowers, cranberries, exotic spice, pure pleasure. Pretty red fruit and creamy oak, lively acidity and grippy tannins, oak spice. Drink up to 2016.
