Pietranera
Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese
Montalcino, Siena, Tuscany, Italy
This took a while to settle down. Initially, I was concerned, but that soon evaporated.
Visually, the wine is delicate in the glass. Nose is filled with mushrooms, truffles, forest floor and black cherries. The wine is taut on the palette. With O2, it extends and expands. Perfectly balanced with underripe tannins. This is destined for greatness - make no mistake!
Tonight, I was introduced to something that I want to return to, 3 - 5 years from now...

Lots of potential and what was a great vintage for Brunello, but this one is still a baby. Give it some time on the shelf. The acidity is overwhelming and the flavours still a bit immature. Good wine nonetheless.

Oct 6th, 2015Аромат сладкоягодный, чуть джемовый, выраженный. Сухое дерево, ягоды, минеральность. Полный, приятный. Идеальная кислотность, структура, танины. Очень хорошо. 18/20 (94/100)

Just had this wine about 3 months ago and stick by my previous notes and as you can see drinking more Brunello's now.

Feb 28th, 2024What an excellent wine; got hit with cherries, flowers and much more on the nose. The taste was loaded as well and the finish was long sweet with some more flowers. Happy I have another bottle. Every time I have a Brunello I wonder why I don’t drink more of the ones I have.

Light in colour and refreshing fruit. Not many classic characteristics or age ability I think but a nice interpretation and worth checking out
