Tasting Notes

88
Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Feb 16
The 2011 Brunello di Montalcino is dark, powerful and intense. Heavy notes of mocha and torrefaction dominate over the dark fruit and give the wine a sense of astringency that is felt in the tannins. This plump, fruit-driven Brunello is best enjoyed over the next few years. With a gentler hand, the 2011 could have been a more complete wine.

Tuscany

Tuscany, a renowned wine region in central Italy, is famous for its high-quality Sangiovese-based wines. Key styles include Chianti, with vibrant acidity and red fruit flavours; Chianti Classico, known for greater depth; and Brunello di Montalcino, prized for its rich, full-bodied character and ageing potential. Tuscany also produces prestigious Super Tuscan wines that blend Sangiovese with international varietals like Cabernet Sauvignon. Top producers are Antinori, for Tignanello; Castello di Ama, for Chianti Classico; and Biondi-Santi, for Brunello.
