Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2012

Wine Advocate - 92

I am impressed by this wine from Martoccia, a producer I was not previously familiar with. The 2012 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva opens to black fruit aromas with plum, blackberry and dried cherry. Perhaps the tannins are a bit dry (you feel that on the palate), otherwise this pretty wine has the natural acidity and freshness to pair with grilled sirloin or lamb. Only 5,000 bottles were made.
