The 2009 Brunello di Montalcino is a very beautiful wine with lots of little loose ends to keep your attention. Overall, the bouquet is extremely clean and polished, but you’ll also notice playful outreaches of berry fruit, cola, pressed violets, crushed mineral and cool menthol. This is one of the most expressive wines of the vintage especially thanks to the finesse and delicate layering it offers. Drink: 2016-2027. The Saiagricola group owns several properties throughout Tuscany and Umbria spanning the wines of Montepulciano, Montalcino and Montefalco – the three magnificent “Ms” of central Italian red wine.
