Tasting Notes

The Wine Independent Susan Hulme - 27 Mar 23
This 2012 Gianni Brunelli Brunello di Montalcino Riserva has a surprisingly youthful dark ruby color. On the nose it is mature with a little of that Bloody Mary, sun-dried tomato note, but it is still very clean and tight with a slight lifted floral, violet note too. On the palate there is a lovely, vibrant freshness and fine sandy-textured tannins. This is another wine with a wonderful texture and weight and a melting silkiness to the texture. A wine with beautiful poise and balance on the palate

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.
