Pietranera 2008 Agricola Centolani (Brunello di Montalcino)

Country: Italy / Agricola Centolani
Variety: Sangiovese Grosso Tuscany
Winery: Pietranera / Brunello di Montalcino

Succulent steak or breaded veal would make good pairing partners to this elegant Brunello. The wine delivers oak spice, red fruit, black pepper and balsam notes of dried ginger and cola. The wine is lively and delicate with some astringency to the tannins that will soften in a few more years.
