Castiglion del Bosco 2008 Campo del Drago (Brunello di Montalcino)

Country: Italy / Tuscany
Variety: Sangiovese Grosso
Winery: Castiglion del Bosco / Campo del Drago

Cherry cola and licorice open the nose of this dark, brooding Brunello. At this young stage, the wine feels slightly sharp and raw in the mouth and it definitely needs another three to five years of cellar aging. Brambly oak and spice give it a zesty and spicy finish.
