Brunello di Montalcino, Italy, 2011
$98.00
100% Sangiovese
Brunello di Montalcino (along with
Barolo) is known as Italy's greatest wine. After at least 3 years in large barrels of Slavonian oak, this selected
Sangiovese acquires a seductive, subtle sweetness that persists with
impossible length. A sophisticated wine whose complexity is best
enjoyed with dishes of comparable intensity like the monster tuscan Bistecca alla Fiorentina or Ragù alla Bolognese
