La Rasina 2007 Brunello di Montalcino

Country: Italy /
Variety: Sangiovese Grosso Tuscany
Winery: La Rasina / Brunello di Montalcino

A bold, inky-black style that is slightly overdone and a touch overripe. Despite aromas of blackberry preserves, prune and rum cake, this is a strongly masculine wine that puts its savory side first. The close is packed tight with smoked bacon and cured beef aromas. Textured tannins create some astringency on the finish.
