Citille di Sopra 2011 Riserva (Brunello di Montalcino)

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

Aromas of ripe black plum, cooking spice and scorched earth lead the nose. The robust, bulky palate offers prune, dried cherry, vanilla and a hint of white pepper set against bracing tannins while the heat of scorching alcohol throws it off balance. Drink soon to catch the remaining fruit.
