Sangiovese Grosso
Red Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✧

This Brunello di Montalcino shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of garnet red, moderate transparency. The nose denotes intense, clean, pleasing and refined aromas that start with hints of black cherry, plum and violet followed by aromas of tobacco, vanilla, blackberry, strawberry, cinnamon, chocolate, mace and menthol. The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a tannic attack and pleasing crispness, however balanced by alcohol, full body, intense flavors. The finish is persistent with flavors of black cherry, plum and blackberry. This Brunello di Montalcino ages for 24 months in barrique followed by at least 8 months of aging in bottle.
