Il Poggiolo E. Cosimi 2008 Terra Rossa (Brunello di Montalcino)

Country: Italy / Terra Rossa
Variety: Sangiovese Grosso Tuscany
Winery: Il Poggiolo E. Cosimi / Brunello di Montalcino

This is an impressive wine. Like its name suggests, Terra Rossa (red earth) is bold and opulent with unrelenting aromas of dark berry, leather, spice and chocolate fudge. Toasted-oak notes fill in the background and remind you that this is a modern expression of Brunello that will appeal to those who love a soft and layered style. All that rich red fruit softens the natural acidity of the vintage.
