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.

classic brunello. leather, cherries, and earthy qualities mesh together in a very structured and delicious effort. tannic, as it should be, but finally able to be enjoyed as it's maturing quite nicely.

Decanter

Rating: 4/5 - As reviewed by Decanter Pretty, roses and game, dried cherries. Lovely. Bright red fruits, fresh acidity, medum bodied, gentle spice, silky texture, aromatic finish. Drink up to 2016.
