The 2013 Brunello di Montalcino is a dark and thickly textured wine from a cooler vintage. The wine exhibits a deeply saturated appearance with little light penetration. The bouquet is enhanced by dark fruit aromas of black cherry and crème de cassis, with licorice, spice and tobacco at the back. There is a sweet spot on the close, and the tannins are neatly folded into the wine's thick texture. The overall effect is slower and thicker than its peers. This is an immediate expression, best for short and near-term consumption.

A ripe style, full of cherry and plum notes, with earth and tobacco accents and just a hint of raisin. Offers a soft profile. Best from 2019 through 2028. 5,000 cases made, 1,300 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add
