Corte Pavone 2007 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- Cellar Selection
- $75
This dark Brunello opens with thick concentration and balsam notes of cola, humus and eucalyptus. Despite the thick extraction, the berry aromas are delicate, with lingering wild raspberry and forest fruit. The wine shows a nice juxtaposition between its bold, masculine side and an elegant feminine one. The mouthfeel is bold, plush and powerful.

A dark wine with purplish pigmentation, excellent concentration and inten sity. Has cherry, leather and loads of toasted notes that do not overwhelm. Smooth, silky and spicy in the mouth, this textbook Brunello is almost too much of a good thing. Imported by Verdoni Imports.
