Silvio Nardi 2006 Brunello di Montalcino 750ml

Bright full red. Captivating nose combines plum, currant, sour cherry, dried flowers and nuts, plus a suggestion of white fruits. Then pure silk on the palate, with the terrific intensity and superb subtle sweetness of an outstanding bottle. Wonderfully spherical and mouthcoating sangiovese. The chewy, saline finish leaves the salivary glands vibrating. Tannins are in perfect harmony with the wine's fruit.
