Note di degustazione
The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino is an irresistible wine that demonstrates just how far the Agostina Pieri brand has evolved over the past decade. This may be the best Brunello ever released by this boutique estate in the Piancornello subzone of the appellation. Most notable and compelling is the seamless integration of flavor and texture that is not easily achieved with the finicky Sangiovese grape. The wine opens to a dark ruby hue with aromas of dried cherry, cassis, blue flower, ginger and balsam herb. You get lingering mineral tones that create a sense of focus and sharpness. I tasted the wine very young, but am confident of the aging potential of this timeless Brunello. It should be a delight to revisit in ten years.

A deep, pungent wine, the 2010 Brunello di Montalcino wraps around the palate with Mediterranean herbs, smoke, black cherry, underbrush and iron nuances. The ferrous undertones that are typical of the Piancornello district come through in spades, all nicely balanced by the richness and pure density of the fruit. Today, the 2010 is decidedly virile and imposing, but it should start to soften in a few years' time. This is a fabulous Brunello from Agostina Pieri.
Youthful-looking mid ruby. Grubby nose, but could just be reductive. Very compact and unwilling to open up. Brisk acidity on the palate but the tannins are just a little too astringent and the finish is rather bitter to completely convince at this stage. (WS)
