Winery: Bellaria / Brunello di Montalcino
This is an austere and tightly assembled wine that doles out fine points of cherry, spice and forest floor that give the wine a bright and polished personality. The mouthfeel is lean and compact, but this is by no means a simple wine. In fact, its nuanced complexity really shows on the finish.
