WINE DESCRIPTION
This Sassetti Livio Brunello di Montalcino is a powerful and elegant expression of Sangiovese from the Montalcino region of Tuscany. Aromas of blackberry, raspberry, dried herbs, and faint leathery notes emerge from the glass. On the palate, this full-bodied wine is well balanced, with flavors of dark cherries, minerals, and sweet spices. The lengthy finish is marked by firm tannins and hints of tobacco. Enjoy this well-crafted Brunello with grilled meats, aged cheeses, or a classic Tuscan dish such as bistecca alla Fiorentina.
