Red
Brunello di Montalcino, Italy

WineSaint
Woodsy and compelling, with dusty black cherry, cedar and mint weaving through silky textures. The palate shows remarkable finesse. Fleshy yet lifted by vibrant acidity as orange-tinged red fruit cascades through. Sweet, gripping tannins and a long, licorice-stained finish reveal both immediate charm and serious structure.
