Boasting contemporary lines and a generously extracted style, the 2012 Brunello di Montalcino Pelagrilli delivers an approach that will appeal to a wider circle of consumers, far outside hardcore Brunello enthusiasts. The bouquet peels off slowly with rich intensity and dark fruit notes of black cherry, plum, soft spice, tobacco and licorice. You don't get any of the bitter or thorny acidity that can sometimes make Brunello difficult to love, especially in its youth. This wine is appropriate for near or medium-term drinking.

A rich, muscular version, boasting cherry, strawberry, iron and tobacco aromas and flavors. Builds to a long, tannic finish, with fruit and balsamic notes echoing on the aftertaste. Best from 2022 through 2035. 1,250 cases made, 380 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add
