Uccelliera Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, Tuscany, Italy 2019

Details

A ripe red color, the 2019 Brunello Di Montalcino is expressive of its place, with warming notes of licorice, black cherries, anise, cedar, and dark soil lifting from the glass. As it opens, it becomes purer in its fruit profile, shining through beautifully. Full-bodied, with ripe tannins and a savory slanting profile, notes of espresso and mocha float across the palate, filling it with purity of fruit and lovely concentration through its long finish. Its a fantastic Brunello with a warming richness that can stand up to hearty winter foods and will be best enjoyed over the next 15 years.
