Brilliant ruby tending toward garnet with age, it opens with an intense, refined bouquet of sweet violet, tobacco, chocolate, wild berries, and vanilla. On the palate, it is full-bodied and well-structured, with firm yet balanced tannins and exceptional aging potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first wine to receive Italy's DOCG appellation, Brunello di Montalcino is the ultimate ambassador of Italian fine wine. This 375ml half bottle is ideal for an intimate pairing or a first look at a cellar-worthy vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePairs beautifully with braised meats, wild boar, aged pecorino, truffles, and hearty Tuscan cuisine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProdReviews\"\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eExpert Reviews — Vintage 2021\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"publication\"\u003eJames Suckling 95 Points | A lively Brunello with aromas of plums, ripe cherries, cedar and teak that follow through to a medium body with fine tannins and a crisp finish. Crunchy and linear. Lovely energy at the end. Drink or hold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"publication\"\u003eVinous 93 Points | Remarkably fresh and fruit-forward, with a core of tantalizing acidity elevating depths of ripe red and blue fruits. Mixes violet and lavender tones before settling on stemmed wild strawberries. Finishes with staining length and edgy tannins, leaving a raspberry concentration and nuances of autumnal spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003ePrior Vintage Reference — 2018\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"publication\"\u003eRobert Parker 93 Points | An especially graceful wine with tart fruit, clean mineral lines and a mid-weight approach. The young tannins are nearly fully approachable, and the wine ends with dryness and ample freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"publication\"\u003eJeb Dunnuck 93 Points | Medium ruby hue with aromas of licorice, dried red flowers, red cherry, and dusty earth. Medium-bodied with fine tannins, approachable with a delicate nature and fresh acidity. Notes of ripe raspberry, blood orange, and tea leaf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"publication\"\u003eWine Spectator 92 Points | Rich and fruity, evoking plum, cherry, iron, tobacco and eucalyptus flavors. A bit more flesh to offset the dusty tannins, with a lingering, fresh finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"publication\"\u003eDecanter 92 Points | Light yet bright in colour with an immediately attractive nose of raspberry and tarragon. Linear and direct, the chiselled palate offers mineral intrigue with an expansive juiciness. Dainty tannins are almost an afterthought, but acidity will carry this midweight, balanced charmer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"67Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46968930304283,"sku":"210000047799","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/1789\/4171\/files\/a5qymkkptrik8uuuwzrl.jpg?v=1773677408","url":"https:\/\/67wine.com\/products\/altesino-brunello-di-montalcino-2021-375ml-half-bottle","provider":"67","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
