Here is an accessible expression of aged Sangiovese that offers food friendly characteristics to pair easily with your favorite meat ragù pasta dishes without too much hassle. The 2014 Brunello di Montalcino is a slightly stripped down expression from this mighty appellation located in southern Tuscany. You get the complexity and the depth of Brunello, but the wine's intensity is measured at a lower threshold in this cooler and wetter vintage. Some 7,500 bottles were made.

Pretty strawberry, cherry and currant aromas and flavors are accented by pink peppercorn, earthy and cardamom hints. Slim, finishing taut, but feels balanced. Drink now through 2030. 650 cases made, 300 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add
