Abbadia Ardenga 2010 Vigna Piaggia (Brunello di Montalcino)

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

An alluring fragrance of rose, aromatic herb, dark berry and a whiff of new leather take shape in the glass. The firm palate delivers ripe, dark berry, grilled sage, mint and sweet pipe tobacco alongside austere tannins that need time to come around. It’s well balanced, with a licorice finish. Drink after 2018.
