Agostina Pieri Brunello Di Montalcino

Overtones of vanilla give way to pungent fennel and sage. Belying Agostina Pieri’s warm, southerly location, the palate is midweight and airy. It is as equally perfumed as the nose exhibiting cherry blossom and jasmine atop redcurrant. Light, fine-grained tannins meet soft, citrussy acidity. Ready to drink now and perhaps a bit too easy-going for a Brunello. Established in 1991, this estate seems to be lightening up on alcohol and oak in recent vintages.
