Tenute Niccolai 2009 Bellarina (Brunello di Montalcino)

Country: Italy / Bellarina
Variety: Sangiovese Tuscany
Winery: Tenute Niccolai / Brunello di Montalcino

This wine starts with aromas of toasted oak, coffee, mature blackberries and hints of bell pepper. The palate offers overripe plum, black currants, toasted oak, chocolate, and espresso alongside astringent and drying wood tannins that give this an abrupt finish.
