Brunello di Montalcino, Italy

WineSaint
Polished and graceful, with black cherry, tobacco and exotic spices flowing seamlessly across the palate. The wine's harmony is its greatest strength. Licorice, orange zest and dried herbs build layers without overwhelming the delicate fruit core. Refined tannins and lovely balance mark this as a vintage that chose finesse over brute force.
