Piccini 2007 Villa al Cortile Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)

Bright, buoyant delivery with the kind of aromas that pop. Think cola, balsam, eucalyptus, dried ginger and crushed black pepper. The fruit is subtle and delicate, reminiscent of forest berry and cassis. The wine’s structure is firm and solid without being too biting and there’s fresh acidity, too.
