San Filippo Dei Comunali Brunello di Montalcino 2019

A magnificent Central Italian red wine displaying a beautiful ruby red color with subtle garnet nuances. The complex nose opens with an intense bouquet of sour marasca cherries, tart forest berries, and macerated violets, beautifully layered with suggestions of star anise, cracked white pepper, licorice, and a subtle hint of black truffle. On the palate, it balances a lively, mid-weight fruit core and an assertive, linear mountain acidity with dense, polished, and silky tannins that provide a firmly structured finish carrying complex returns of sweet earth and warm baking spices.

Food Pairing: Pairs flawlessly with robust Tuscan wild boar ragù, thick grilled Florentine steaks, savory mushroom gnocchi, and aged cheeses like Pecorino Toscano.
