Textbook Brunello aromatics define the 2019 San Lorenzo Brunello di Montalcino, a Sangiovese of striking harmony from front to back. It glows with a gorgeous medium ruby core and a delicate pink rim, releasing Bing cherry, freshly cut rose, whole clove, and sun-baked wild sage. The medium-plus to full body rolls across the palate with a rounded texture, supported by sweet yet dusty tannins and finely judged acidity. Subtle notes of cedar shavings and dried porcini lend secondary depth without crowding the vibrant fruit.
