Baccinetti 2011 Saporaia (Brunello di Montalcino)

Country: Italy / Tuscany
Variety: Sangiovese
Winery: Baccinetti / Saporaia

This opens with aromas of toast, prune, scorched earth and chopped mint. The juicy palate offers dried black cherry, star anise and a hint of sweet baking spice alongside supple tannins. Straightforward and already approachable, it will offer enjoyable sipping in the near term. Drink through 2020.
