Le Ragnaie "Casanovina Montosoli" Brunello di Montalcino

Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, Tuscany, Italy

Varietal(s): 100% Sangiovese

At first coy, yet with a bit of coaxing, the 2021 Brunello di Montalcino Casanovina Montosoli becomes explosive, blending balsamic-laced black cherries with cedar spice box, incense, dusty earth and spiced citrus rinds. It is a model of balance, with silken textures and depths of polished red berry fruits underscored by crisp mineral tones as a cascade of inner florals swirls throughout. It finishes classically dry and dramatically long, leaving a subtle licorice resonance and tart wild berry concentration. The 2021 is harmony personified and guarantees a brilliant future.
