Tasting note
Montalcino Sangiovese should offer red cherry, plum and dried herbs, with a gentle floral scent lifting the aroma. The 2017 SanCarlo Brunello is expected to feel broad and energetic, its acidity brightening ripe fruit while firm tannins lend the palate a lightly grained texture. Listed to peak through 2038 within a horizon to 2046, it should finish dry and persistent, with cherry, spice and earth gradually mingling.
