The 2008 Brindisi Rosso Riserva Vigna Flaminio is a blend of 80% Negroamaro and 20% Montepulciano that is partially aged in botte grande. The wine presents evolved aromas of espresso powder, roasted nuts, Indian spice and dried fruit. Most of the primary fruit tones have disappeared and this wine is best consumed within the next 24 months. It closes on a dry note with dusty astringency on the finish.
