Country: Italy /
Variety: Sangiovese Grosso Tuscany
Winery: Poggiarellino / Brunello di Montalcino
Compared to the 2007 vintage that awed and impressed, this 2008 Brunello seems slightly older than it really is. The aromas are already headed towards dried fruit, cured meat, crushed mineral and Band-Aid. The mouthfeel is freshly acidic and slightly textured. Drink now.
