Ruffino - Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Il Greppone Mazzi 2018 (750ml)

In Montalcino, Sangiovese Grosso, known as Brunello locally, is a reason for celebration. This wine represents the most profound and exquisite expression of the region, harmonizing robust body with unmatched finesse. Ruffino's Brunello DOCG embodies their centuries-old winemaking wisdom and meticulous craftsmanship from vineyard to bottle.

The primarily savory nose features aromas of leather, gunpowder, balsamic and cigars, but a rich blend of vanilla, cherries and spices provides sweetness underneath. The palate leans into the vanilla and cherry elements, before a bitter yet pleasant finish of orange and coffee. Tannins can barely catch their breath before being outstripped by searing acid.
