2013 Val di Suga Brunello di Montalcino

Description

93   James Suckling
“Cedar, red licorice, tar, Christmas pudding, orange peel and dried plums. Full body, chewy tannins, driven acidity and a medium-long finish.”

92   Wine Spectator
“Elegant, balanced and shows a nice mix of berry fruit, with savory underbrush and mineral elements. This is firm and fresh, with a lingering aftertaste on the salty side. Not imported into the U.S. Best from 2021 through 2033.”

Owned by Bertani Domains, Val di Suga has three vineyards scattered across the Montalcino zone. Grapes from all three sites go into this panoramic illustration of Brunello, which is aged in large format Slavonian oak barrels. Easy to like, it offers mint, blossom, tea leaf and tobacco aromas. It’s straightforward and pleasing on the palate, the ripe red berries held together by resolved tannins before petering out on the finish.
