Gianni Brunelli Rosso di Montalcino 2011
Montalcino, Siena, Tuscany, ItalyOff a mix of vineyards and aged six months in oak casks the Brunelli Rosso offers a chance to approach the essence of the property at a much earlier drinking window thanks to a style made to be consumed much sooner than the full-blown Brunello di Montalcino. At a winery whose Brunello is more pinot or nebbiolo in style than sangiovese, the Rosso is predictably fruity offering supple, ripe red fruit with a dash of mushroom and earth. Cedar tobacco and cherries are the perfect tonic for a simple mushroom pasta dish.Tasted: 23 April 2014Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $35.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
