Hang on until 2022 before you open this Val di Suga Brunello di Montalcino, and you will be richly rewarded for your patience. From the highly acclaimed Val di Suga winery, where the Brunellos can run twice this price, this Tuscan delight is perfect for chicken liver crostatas prepared the Tuscan way. After that, a Chiannina rib steak is a perfect entree for this Italian red. Rabbit stew cooked with juniper is another dish that will bring out the bold, earthy side of the wine. A classic Beef Wellington is another wonderful option. Set out a platter of aged, top shelf Pecorino as a last course and fill your glasses again. You'll be glad you did.
Winery: "This is a very concentrated Brunello that combines intense notes of blood orange with a hint of chinotto mixed with complex Mediterranean spices (Helichrysum Thyme and Broom Flowers). It is a wine with a strong nerve, a vibrant acid structure that sustains a concentrated mouthfeel, rich in silky tannins. The finish is extremely long and soft."
2015 Vintage Report: "The seasonal trends were simply perfect! Winter was not very rainy and temperatures were average for the season. Spring was mild, accompanied by good rainfall in March and April. That made up for a dry winter, and then a fairly dry May. Summer was hot, but always accompanied by rainfall that helped avoid water stress and allowed fruit to have a phenolic ripeness typical of the great vintages. The early September rains lowered the summer temperatures, delaying ripening and creating a slow veraison."
