Collina Dei Lecci - Brunello di Montalcino

A ripe and layered red with lots of plum and sliced-mushroom character. Full body, round and lightly chewy. Delicious already.

Collina dei Lecci's  Brunello di Montalcino doesn't show that much fruit, focusing instead on evolved aromas of spice, potting soil and dried cherry or prune. The fruit feels tightened and dehydrated by the heat and sunshine of the 2015 summer season. This wine offers a medium finish with some fine texture on the dry tannins, which might work with a simple carbonara or even a veal saltimbocca.
