Centolani 2009 Poggiotondo (Brunello di Montalcino)

Country: Italy / Poggiotondo
Variety: Sangiovese Tuscany
Winery: Centolani / Brunello di Montalcino

This bold, balanced wine opens with classic Sangiovese aromas of underbrush, dried tobacco leaf, red berries, blue flower and a waft of leather. The juicy palate shows depth, delivering ripe wild cherry accented with white pepper, licorice and a mineral note alongside solid but refined tannins. Drink 2016–2024.
