La Serena
Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese
Montalcino, Siena, Tuscany, Italy
My first foray into Brunello, which would become one of my favorite wines. The love did not however start here. I found it a bit too tannic for any meaningful expression, and anything else was covered up by oak. Thankfully I’ve since found traditionally made Brunellos.
