Corte dei Venti 2009 Brunello di Montalcino

Country: Italy / Tuscany
Variety: Sangiovese
Winery: Corte dei Venti /

This earthy Brunello leads with aromas of underbrush, mushroom, bay leaf, cherry and Mediterranean herbs. The palate offers juicy black cherry and ripe raspberry punctuated with cinnamon-spice, vanilla, mocha and licorice alongside smoothed but fleeting tannins. It’s nicely crafted and boasts decent freshness for the vintage.
