Description
A beautiful, airy nose reveals roses, red cherry, strawberry, lemon thyme, and liquorice. Firm and bright on the palate, the fresh and fruity inner perfume is tightly wound through the finish, long and penetrating, obviously unique. It needs a few years to flesh out, a faster-maturing vintage for this wine, but it should still be worth following.

About this wine
Brunello di Montalcino
Along with Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino is Tuscany's most famous DOCG and its boldest expression of the Sangiovese grape. Located 30 miles south of Siena, its 2,000 hectares of vines are hemmed in by the Orcia, Asso and Ombrone valleys. Brunello is the local name for the Sangiovese Grosso clone from which Brunello di Montalcino should be made in its entirety. The wine cannot be released for sale until five years after the harvest.
