Tommasi, Casisano, Brunello di Montalcino, DOCG, Colombaiolo Riserva, OWC, 2013

Description

VINTAGE 2013 (4 Star Vintage)

The 2013 vintage can be considered an excellent year for the wines of Casisano: wines that are perfect representatives of our style, with Sangiovese that expresses itself to the full in terms of elegance, finesse and minerality. The Colombaiolo Riserva, which comes from our highest vineyard with the best exposure, combines in the 2013 version all of the typical characteristics of this Cru: freshness, tanginess and excellent length of flavor. It is a wine that is already able to give anyone tasting it great satisfaction but which, over the years, will fully express the potential of Sangiovese from this zone of Montalcino.

Tasting Notes

A deep, intense ruby with tinges of garnet, it offers a fine, complex nose, in which the fruit combines with a sweet spiciness deriving from its long aging. On the palate it is austere, with ripe, velvety tannins producing an excellent balance between great structure and elegance. The finish is fresh and harmonious.

Serving Suggestions

Its full-bodied yet elegant style (resulting from its long maturation) make it ideal for accompanying rich dishes such as red meats, braised meats and game, particularly when served with mushrooms or truffles. Excellent with very mature cheeses.
