Castellani 2010 Brunaio (Brunello di Montalcino)

Country: Italy / Brunaio
Variety: Sangiovese Tuscany
Winery: Castellani / Brunello di Montalcino

Leafy underbrush, sunbaked earth and a toasted note lead the way. The lean one-dimensional palate is a bit shy on freshness, offering dried sour cherry, raisin and a hint of dark spice alongside dusty, not very persistent tannins. Drink sooner rather than later to capture the remaining fruit.
