Piancornello Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2013

Not to be confused with the standard Brunello di Montalcino, the riserva is made from a clone that has smaller berries and smaller bunches with a minimum age of 5 years (2 in cask). The organic estate is perfectly situated in the south of Montalcino to give the wine dense flavors of plum, black cherry, tar and cola. This is all supported by earthy flavors of mushroom, leather, cigar-box and big grippy tannins that smooth out with some open air.
