Pinino
Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese
Montalcino, Siena, Tuscany, Italy
Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2019 pours a garnet color with a transparent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of tart Morello cherry, red flowers, bergamot, and a bit of black tea along with some dry earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium with zippy acid and the texture is a bit thin. Drink now through 2039.

Jan 5th, 2026Традиционный стиль винодельни, суховатый аромат с акцентом на клюкве, бруснике и красных ягодах. Минеральный, не сладкий. Танины полные, баланс, потенциал. 16/20 (90/100)

A bit disappointing given the price… very tight and astringent at first but is improving after 3 hours.

Drinking great with flowers and black fruits. Tannins were not an issue, smooth with a long finish.

Took a long time to open up after decanting, but once it did, it was very nice.

Lighter style Brunello, fairly complex with some forest floor element, finishes well
