Natalie's Score: 93/100

Love the Band-Aid aromas on the nose -- I sometimes get that from fine Bordeaux and is related to the oak aging. Savoury, tart and pleasantly bitter with sour cherry and smoky, dusty earth notes. Full-bodied. Love the maturity on this wine. Pair with lamb.

Brunello Di Montalcino food pairings: grilled steak, roast leg of lamb, hard cheese, veal piccata.

Harmonious Hard Cheese Wine

Reviews and Ratings

Savoury, tart and pleasantly bitter with sour cherry and smoky, dusty earth notes. Medium-bodied. The vines that produce the grapes for this wine are planted in clay and stone soils. Lovely, long finish. - Community Wine Reviews
