Brunello di Montalcino wine: elegance and longevity
Brunello di Montalcino wine is known for its structure, aromatic complexity, and extraordinary ability to evolve over time. Sangiovese generally gives it pronounced freshness and a substantial tannic structure, characteristics that allow the wine to develop great balance and depth with aging.
On the nose, Brunello can express aromas of cherry, sour cherry, red fruits, violet, and plum, accompanied by spicy, balsamic, and tertiary notes that emerge with age, such as tobacco, leather, undergrowth, and licorice. On the palate, it is generally structured, elegant, and persistent, with a long capacity to evolve in the bottle.
