Col D’orcia Poggio Al Vento Brunello Di Montalcino Riserva 2013

This single-vineyard icon from the exceptional 2013 vintage presents a deep, concentrated garnet red color. The bouquet is intensely aromatic, complex, and aristocratic, slowly unfolding with rich scents of ripe dark cherries, preserved wild plums, and blackberries, seamlessly layered with tertiary nuances of tobacco leaf, fine leather, damp earth, licorice, and a sophisticated touch of balsamic spice. On the palate, it exhibits a full-bodied, multi-layered structure driven by an incredibly vibrant acidity and powerful, fine-grained, muscular tannins that promise decades of longevity. The texture is dense yet majestic, culminating in a spectacularly long, savory, and aristocratic finish.

Food Pairing: Magnificent alongside slow-braised wild game, roasted wild boar, thick-cut Bistecca alla Fiorentina, or highly mature Pecorino Toscano cheeses.
