Podere Scopetone Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2013

Bright red. A very perfumed floral nose of red berries and minty herbs. High but harmonious acidity lifts and extends the strawberry, orange peel and mineral flavours on the long, vibrant back end. The wine ages roughly 24 months in 33-hL Slavonian oak casks. Scopetone’s Brunellos are always some of the shrillest, most taut and pristine wines made in all of Montalcino, though at times they could use just a touch more flesh. That recognized I love the floral perfume, very juicy strawberry flavours and mineral edge that give this wine a unique personality among Montalcino’s greats.
