Brunello di Montalcino (Mike Rienzi) – Red Wine
Known as one of the best red Italian quality wines, the Sangiovese vines offer an aristocratic and harmonious wine with rich garnet colors and a bouquet intense and persistent with great strength and fruity tones of dark berries. The taste is dry yet fleshy with silky tannins.
