Abbadia Ardenga 2008 Vigna Piaggia (Brunello di Montalcino)

Country: Italy / Vigna Piaggia
Variety: Sangiovese Grosso Tuscany
Winery: Abbadia Ardenga / Brunello di Montalcino

This Brunello opens with inky, dark concentration and definitely shows a chewy, almost raw quality of cherry fruit that will most likely disappear withdonn just two or three more years of cellar aging. Cola, spice, leather and smoke fill in the rear and the wine ends with crisp acidity.
