trying to polish the tannins and keep the juiciness and avoid excessive tannins

San Polino, Brunello Montalcino Helichrysum other_regions_italy Powerful dark berryThe 2009 Brunello di Montalcino Helichrysum redeems some of the shortcomings of San Polinos base 2009 Brunello. Although the wine feels sticky and chewy in the mouth with an evidently mature quality of fruit, Helichrysum is characteristic of a hot Brunello vintage. Youll recognize tones of jammy fruit, cherry cough drop and sweet maple syrup. Drink, 2016 2020.
