Brunello

The ‘Brunello’ clone of Sangiovese, which grows in the hills of Montalcino, near Siena, produces Tuscany’s most intense and famed red wine. It expresses a powerful, assertive character, complex with mineral, leather, truffle and orange peel nuances and is robust and full-bodied on the palate.

Intense ruby red with garnet lights. Intensely perfumed, with the characteristic violet and small red berries aromas followed by spiced plums and vanilla. Full-bodied and firm on the palate, with elegant, fine tannins and a lovely silky texture.

This Brunello Di Montalcino is from the boutique Fossacolle estate. The 2010 vintage is regarded as one the best vinatges Italy has had in the last decade. Awarded a whopping 95 points by Robert Parker. On the palate there is mature red and dark fruits, with the added complexity of coffee and spice. Silky and oily tannis persist.
