Vinea-Pinzale Brunello di Montalcino 2004

100% Sangiovese Grosso, this wine is made by the Nardi family in northwest Montalcino, and is a screaming deal from a great vintage for Brunellos. The nose exhibits dark yet bright floral/wood aromatics – lavender and sandalwood. The palate lends red berries and with great acidity and structure. Clearly a wine with time in the bottle, but a sexy and youthful wine to drink now.

Food Pairings

Seriously anything tomatoey sings with Sangiovese, pizza and pasta to be sure. Sausages, chicken, gazpacho. Bread salad.
