Col D'Orcia Brunello di Montalcino Magnum 2012
Deep ruby red colour, with youthful violet hues, the bouquet is intense and concentrated, with a mature varietal fruit, pleasant vinous freshness woven with the scents of the oak. In the mouth is full and complex, a very fruity body enriched by spicy oak nuances emerges from a background of noble tannins.

Colour

Deep ruby red, with youthful violet hues.

Bouquet

Complex, fresh, full bodied and deep. The spices from the oak are deftly combined with the pleasant fruit.

Flavour

Taste of great effect: the impressive tannic structure is wrapped up in a generous, almost creamy, body issuing multidimensional taste feelings. The primary fruit and the positive evolution of the long ageing in the oak are perfectly integrated leading to a noble and elegant aftertaste.

Pairing

Goes well with red meat preparations such as stews and braised dishes, is excellent even with furry game, mature cheese, even spicy.
