Belpoggio 2007 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
Appellation: Brunello di Montalcino Tuscany Italy
Varietal: Sangiovese Bright cherry cola and root beer notes veer beautifully onto the balsam side, with dried ginger and chopped mint. Some firm tannic astringency needs to soften with time, and there’s a drying mineral tone that holds it all together. — M.L. (5/1/2012) — 92
