Montosoli Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese


2008. Slight herbal note on the nose, nice texture, but leaner on the palate. More traditional style, I liked it.

Full-bodied, earthy, with a lovely bouquet. Plums and fresh red cherries with a hint of chocolate.

Herbal. Reduced? Brett? Hmmmm. Couple of well respected winemakers loved it. Maybe I donโt understand shit.

Chocolate, currants, bright raspberries, and dark cherries with a bit of pepper. Silky smooth, fabulous bouquet, and a satisfying finish.
