Col D’orcia Brunello Di Montalcino Riserva 1991

This exceptional, library-release historic Brunello di Montalcino Riserva from the 1991 vintage presents a beautiful garnet red color with distinguished brick and orange reflections along the rim. The bouquet is deeply evolved, complex, and aristocratic, unveiling mature aromas of dried sour cherries, preserved plums, and figs, seamlessly interwoven with tertiary layers of leather, tobacco leaf, forest floor, iron, and a touch of balsamic complexity. On the palate, it exhibits a medium-to-full-bodied structure of remarkable refinement, where the structural components have softened into complete harmony; its persistent acidity gracefully balances the faded dark fruit core, supported by fully resolved, velvety tannins. The finish is remarkably long, savory, and elegant, echoing with notes of dried herbs and fine spice.

Food Pairing: A meditative wine best enjoyed on its own after careful decanting, or paired with slow-roasted wild game, classic Bistecca alla Fiorentina, or highly aged pecorino cheeses.

"A good quality, round-textured Brunello with cherr and wet earth character. Medium tannins, medium finish. Drink now."
