2012 Brunello di Montalcino, Gianni Brunelli

This beautiful, elegant Brunello opens with clean, fresh morello cherries and hints of grapefruit pith on the nose. The palate is complex and precise, with notes of tea, dried rose petals and a hint of cinnamon on the finish. And it’s this finish that impresses: long and very fine, there’s a saline element that has you reaching for another glass straight away.

TASTING NOTES

Wild berry, forest floor, chopped herb and a balsamic note are some of the aromas you'll find in this bright, elegant red. The vibrant, medium-bodied palate offers crushed raspberry, red cherry and baking spice flavors, buttressed by taut, polished tannins and fresh acidity. A blast of orange zest further lifts the finish.
