Note di degustazione
The 2007 Brunello di Montalcino Piaggione needs a lot of air for the bouquet to find its focus. Silky tannins frame sweet red berries, flowers and licorice in this mid-weight Brunello. The purity of the fruit is striking, but the aromatics aren't perfectly clean. This is an underachieving effort from one of Montalcino's top properties.

Mid ruby with broad orange-tinged rim. Fine oatmeal nose. Very slow to show fruit. In fact, very slow to show anything at all. Very spicy and persistent and dark. Very elegant palate weight and quite stormy tannin still. Acidity turns up on the finish. Very persistent, almost sweet and backward. (WS)
