2012 Brunello di Montalcino

Castello Romitorio delivers yet another excellent set of wines from Montalcino. The 2012 Brunello di Montalcino is hearty and dark with enough grit and concentration to pair with classic Tuscan cuisine including steak, game meat or smoked cheese. The mouthfeel is textured and rich. Vibrant fruit and dark tones of black currant, plum, spice and pipe tobacco characterize the bouquet. This is a contemporary Brunello that also flaunts its Tuscan roots and it authentic personality. It delivers on all of the promises you'd expect from a complete and classic Brunello.
