Canalicchio di Sopra 2009 Brunello di Montalcino

Country: Italy /
Variety: Sangiovese Tuscany
Winery: Canalicchio di Sopra / Brunello di Montalcino

Opening aromas recall underbrush, red berry, white mushroom, truffle and thyme with a whiff of leather. The palate offers restrained wild cherry accented with white pepper, mint and sage alongside tightly knit tannins. While the tannins need to unwind, this wine isn’t made for long-term cellaring. Drink 2015–2019.
