This Brunello di Montalcino from Villa al Cortile is a beautiful expression of the Sangiovese grape.On the nose, dark cherry, plum, leather, and tobacco aromas mingle with notes of licorice, vanilla, and spice. On the palate, supple tannins and a medium body give way to a delightful concentration of ripe red fruit flavors, with a hint of smokiness and herbs on the long, elegant finish. A complex and well-balanced wine, it is sure to please any red wine enthusiast.
