WINE DESCRIPTION
This powerful and intense Brunello di Montalcino Riserva from Biondi-Santi is a beautiful expression of Sangiovese from Montalcino. On the nose, aromas of dark cherry, leather, and dried herbs are complemented by a hint of savory smoked meat. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and concentrated, with flavors of ripe cherry and dark chocolate, as well as a tannic structure that provides structure and balance. The finish is long and complex, with lingering notes of spice, toasted oak, and blackberry. This is an intense and concentrated wine that will pair well with robust dishes such as wild game or grilled steak.
