The 2013 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is a plump and layered wine. It peels back to reveal black cherry, spice, tobacco and tangy balsam herb. This slowly aged Sangiovese is elegant and generous with a powerful mouthfeel that shows integrated tannins and balanced acidity. This Riserva ages in barrique for 12 months followed by an additional 36 months in botte. Only 4,000 bottles were produced.

Fluid and fruity, supported by a matrix of dense tannins, this features a fine texture and structure, offsetting the saturated flavors of cherry, red berry, leather, iron and tar. Stays focused while cruising to a lingering finish. Really youthful, intense and long. Best from 2022 through 2045. 330 cases made, 200 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add
