Pieve Santa Restituta Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese

2015 Vintage - out of a 375ml red rim cherry, earth , some dried fruit liqueur, earth, leather, nice acidity

This vintage of Pieve Santa Restituta is delicious. To be more specific: the best word to describe it is the English "smooth". The Polish "smooth" does not reflect the nuances. 🙂 Tannins pleasantly tighten the tongue. The acidity is perfect for me. Fleeting fruitiness on the nose, but none on the palate. Back to the nose: spices and herbs, especially thyme, some tobacco. I love the dryness of this wine.

Forest floor.

Really good Brunello. Gets better in the glass.

Deep garnet; open perfumed nose with cherry and spice on top; palate is ripe enough to suggest a dark fruit compote with a note of licorice, but with plenty of moderating acidity and round tannin.

Very modern style but well done and with no excess. Balanced and went really well with the food. We liked it.

Yes.

Ruby red dark color. Leather nose. Pepper, full mouthfeel. Beautiful wine.

Insanely smooth!
