Lionello Marchesi Coldisole Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2011

Produced only in exceptional vintages, this Brunello di Montalcino Riserva offers a complex bouquet of ripe black cherry, dried plum, forest floor, tobacco, cedar, and sweet spice. The palate is full-bodied and velvety, showcasing concentrated dark fruit, earthy nuances, and elegant oak integration. Refined tannins and vibrant acidity provide impressive structure and balance, while the finish is long, persistent, and layered with notes of leather, spice, and savory herbs. A cellar-worthy Brunello displaying both power and sophistication. 

Food Pairing: Braised short ribs, grilled lamb, wild game, osso buco, truffle dishes, aged Pecorino, and hearty Italian cuisine.
