The Tasting
-
Appearance & Nose
01The Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, according to the regulations, is a pure Sangiovese red wine, a symbol of longevity and great character. In the glass, this 2008 from Piombaia Rossi - Cantini presents a ruby depth that foreshadowed a complex olfactory profile, where tertiary and fruity notes intertwine with hints of leather and sweet spices.

Palate & Finish
02On the palate, the sip reveals a remarkable structure and still-present, but integrated, tannins that define its substance. It is a wine that calls for an important table, perfect with a sliced beefsteak with porcini mushrooms or a braised wild boar.
