2021 Castello Banfi Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, Tuscany, Italy (750ml) 2009 its initial sweetness gives wayWINEMAKER'S NOTES: A rich and elegant Brunello, both in structure and in olfactory expression. Brilliant ruby red with garnet colored reflections, on the nose the aroma is sweet and fruity, the hints of fresh red fruit stand out, which combine perfectly with the more complex notes of licorice and pipe tobacco. The structure is powerful, and the palate is pleasantly enveloped by a consistent tannic texture, well balanced by a pleasant acidity.
