Country: Italy / Ugolforte
Variety: Sangiovese Grosso Tuscany
Winery: Tenuta San Giorgio / Brunello di Montalcino
This is an oak-driven Brunello that imparts woodshop aromas of spice, toast, mesquite and vanilla. The wine offers loads of intensity in the mouth and gains momentum thanks to its thick, warming texture. Drink it after 2012 to allow time for those oak aromas to mellow.
