La Velona
Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese
Montalcino, Siena, Tuscany, Italy
Unlike a bottle consumed two years ago, this is in fine shape. The nose suggests tilled earth, balsamic, cedar box, and a faint horse note. The palate shows tart red cherries, black tea, raspberry jam, and marjoram. There’s plenty of acidity here, carrying the long finish. A great match for homemade meatballs and sauce tonight.

A little one dimensional, but a terrific everyday food wine.

From the hills comes the wine that set the tone for the evening. We bowl!

May not be you're typical Brunello but this is a great wine. Dark cherry, dried meat, spice...maybe red pepper flakes. Big delivery and very enjoyable with steaks or heavier foods.
