2012 Brunello di Montalcino

The 2012 Brunello di Montalcino from Collosorbo in the Castelnuovo dell'Abate sub zone is a plump and generous wine. The bouquet is redolent of dark fruit, sun-dried cherry, blue flower and spicy tobacco. Winemaking is simple with fermentation in stainless steel and further aging in traditional large casks. This approach awards the freshness and the brightness of the natural fruit at hand. The wine shows good structure with moderate length.
