The 2009 Brunello di Montalcino Bonacchi opens to a darkly saturated color and modern touches of red fruit, tobacco and mocha. The mouthfeel is lean and moderate in intensity with slightly sweet cherry notes that fill in the rear. This approachable style might provide Brunello novices with a good introduction to one of Italy's greatest red wines. Drink: 2015-2019.
