Lisini Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, Tuscany, Italy 2009

Description

The 2009 Brunello di Montalcino is a fully mature, expressive wine that shows the warmth of the vintage alongside the discipline of traditional Sangiovese. Aromas have evolved into dried cherry, fig, leather, and tobacco, with underlying notes of balsamic herb, earth, and warm stone. On the palate, it’s medium to full-bodied with resolved but still present tannins, giving the wine shape without austerity. Acidity remains lively, keeping the savory, tertiary flavors lifted and balanced through the long, earthy finish.
