Vasco Sassetti 2005 Brunello di Montalcino

Country: Italy /
Variety: Sangiovese Grosso Tuscany
Winery: Vasco Sassetti / Brunello di Montalcino

Earthy aromas of white mushroom and dried roses that are characteristic of Tuscan Sangiovese are what you notice first here. The wine then segues to fruit and spice aromas, although those berry notes are on the mature and jammy side. Fresh acidity and firm tannins suggest a pairing with red meat.
