Showing a heavier gait and footprint, the 2012 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva will appeal to those who love the dark side of Brunello. The wine boasts dense richness and black fruit aromas with spice, leather and tar. What sets this Riserva apart, however, is that it never feels too heavy or jammy. That's the best part: You get a well balanced and pleasurable interpretation from a warm vintage.

Rich and full of cherry, strawberry, spice and tobacco flavors. Balanced, with a well-integrated structure, though not as complex as some of its peers. Stays fresh on the lingering finish. Best from 2021 through 2035. 750 cases made, 250 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add
