Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona Brunello di Montalcino (2019)

Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, Tuscany, Italy

Varietal(s): 100% Sangiovese

A beauty, starting with its heady scents of red berry, dog rose, spice and Mediterranean scrub. Full-bodied and loaded with finesse, the smooth palate delivers juicy red cherry, cracked peppercorn and licorice alongside tightly-woven, refined tannins. Juicy acidity keeps it balanced and fresh.
