MONTALCINO, ITALY

98 pts James Suckling & Robert Parker. 

Only produced in the best vintages from the same vineyard site as the Pianrosso Riserva! On the nose are aromas of red fruits, flowers and fresh mushrooms that then follow through to the full bodied palate that shares cherry, blackberry and slight earthy notes. The tannins are beautifully present just as you want. A keeper for 15+ years.

Food Pairings: Stewed and roasted meats; roasted leg of lamb with rosemary potatoes.
