WINE DESCRIPTION
Armilla Brunello di Montalcino is made from Sangiovese Grosso, also known as Brunello, in the hilltop village of Montalcino located south of the city of Florence in Tuscany, Italy. The grapes are sourced from a small vineyard planted in 1982. Fermentation and maceration occurs in steel tanks in order to control the temperature and speed of fermentation. After maturation of 24 to 30 months in large oak barrels, the wine continues its aging in the bottle prior to its release.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Armilla Brunello di Montalcino has a high-toned nose of red fruits such as tart cherries and plums, accompanied by savory notes of tomato leaf and tomato concentrate with a hint of earthiness reminiscent of potting soil.On the palate, this is full-bodied in nature, with a high level of grippy tannins and a firm core of acidity that provide structure to the wine. Flavors of red berries, sour cherries, and a touch of dried herbs are present, carrying on the long and satisfying finish.
