Altesino Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2013 [1.5 L MAGNUM] (Tuscany, Italy) - [WS 95] [WA 94+] [JS 94] [VM 93] [WE 92]

Notes from the Winemaker:.Brunello di Montalcino is the ambassador of top quality Italian wines around the world, the first wine to receive the DOCG appellation. Brunello is a brilliant ruby red colour, tending towards garnet red with age. Its bouquet is intense, pure, pleasant and refined, reminiscent of sweet violet, tobacco, chocolate and pleasant hints of wild berries and vanilla. Its flavour fully confirms the above in a well-balanced, full-bodied wine with good tannins and a solid structure.
