Campogiovanni Il Quercione, Brunello Di Montalcino, Riserva 2006 (1.5l)

Overview: Produced only in exceptional growing years, this Riserva is considered by San Felice to be the finest expression of its Campogiovanni terroir. Carefully-selected clusters of Sangiovese Grosso from its 2.5-hectare Il Quercione vineyard yield a wine that effortlessly marries together depth, elegance, and authenticity of style, plus a remarkable capacity for lengthy ageing.

Tasting Notes: Very deep ruby red; releases remarkably emphatic fragrances of ripe berries, spice, cocoa powder, and tanned leather. Very full in the mouth, lean in character but with warm alcohol and ripe, juicy tannins.

Pairing: Ideal partner to mixed grills, game, dishes with mushrooms or truffles, and aged cheeses.
