Brunello di Montalcino Riserva
Italy, Tuscany
Sangiovese
Good intense color, our best expression of Brunello. Immediately impacts the senses in a subtle explosion of pleasures from tobacco to cocoa to licorice with notes of rhubarb and cloves. Its strong territoriality also reveals itself on the palate with cohesive balance of structure and acidity, one never dominating the other, taking the wine towards new and ever more splendid evolutions. Truly a wine to lay down.
