Fattoria La Gerla
Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese
Montalcino, Siena, Tuscany, Italy
Toasty nose of cherry pastry, cinnamon and raisin bread with black rose notes hovering in chocolate clouds. Dried red cherry round out the background. Chewy, bing cherry entry with lingering tartness wound around the expansive middle but unfolding into a refined and ridiculously sensual tar, silky tannins and cherry and strawberry-rhubarb freshness. The roses remain, wrapped around the worthy neck of this thoroughbred, mint, tarragon, and an interesting blood orange complete the mosaic.

Very drinkable. Earthy, cherry with a little tobacco.

Incredibly well balanced - this is the best Barollo I have ever tried to date.

Dinner at Mario Bateli's Carnevino. In Las Vegas. Started with steak tartare, then salad caprese. Mushroom tagliatelle, then osso bucco. Very good. 9-28-2014
