Castello Banfi Brunello di Montalcino DOCG12 lt Banfi

DESCRIPTION

A rich and elegant Brunello, both in structure and in olfactory expression.
Brilliant ruby red with garnet reflections, on the nose the aroma is sweet and fruity, the hints of fresh red fruit stand out, which combine perfectly with the more complex notes of liquorice and pipe tobacco.

The structure is powerful and the palate is pleasantly enveloped by a consistent tannic grain well balanced by a pleasant acidity.
Great potential for aging and persistence.
