Brunello di Montalcino 2015 14.5 per cent alc
100 per cent Sangiovese made in the winery at Fattoria dei Barbi in Montalcino. Barbi is one of the oldest and most prestigious producers, owned by the Cinelli Colombini family. The current head of the family Stefano wanted to experiment with my eggs so we placed one of each of the Italian producers and filled them with 2015 vintage juice which had already been matured in traditional large old Slavonian oak barrels for 2 years and then six months in smaller barrels. After nine months in the eggs we decided to blend all 3 together and bottle in July 2019. Released 12 months later.
Description
Tasting Note:
Look: mid ruby with orange tinges
Smell: quite sweet and dense, a little tingling peppery. Liquorice notes and a hint of old leather
Taste: sappy cherry fruit that is more fluid than the nose would have you expect. Long with bags of chewey tannins. Lots of personality as well as freshness.
