Val di Suga 2010 Poggio al Granchio (Brunello di Montalcino)

Country: Italy / Poggio al Granchio
Variety: Sangiovese Tuscany
Winery: Val di Suga / Brunello di Montalcino

Aromas of black-skinned berry marinated in spirits, dark spice, chopped herb and a balsamic note emerge in the glass. The robust assertive palate offers dried sour cherry, powdered sage and star anise alongside a backbone of bracing, mouth-drying tannins that grip the finish. Give this a few more years to soften, then drink up to capture the remaining fruit.
