Red wine

Agostina Pieri, Brunello di Montalcino 2016

RRP £38.95 (2015)

Pieri is a small-scale producer with south-facing vineyards in Castelnuovo dell’Abate. I love the vivid intensity of ripe, black fruit aromas here, the very tangy acidity and lively palate. Robust, with less refined tannins than some, but the intensity and brightness of the fruit is exciting.
