Pertimali "MULINO" Brunello Di Montalcino
| Vintage: | 2015 |

| Description: | "This is the first vintage of the 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Mulino from Pertimali, a lower-elevation cru thats noted for the high level of marine fossils found in its soils. Here I find a classic display of dried roses, black cherry, dusty earth and freshly-tanned leather. It envelopes the palate in fleshy textures offset by a mix of tart wild berries, zesty acids and savory spice, as building tension puckers the cheeks, seeding them with fine-grained tannins. This comes across as structured yet remarkably balanced, and its a beautiful expression of the vintage." - Eric Guido, Vinous Media. "The 2015 vintage was the first that Lorenzo Sassetti crafted a single vineyard bottling of Brunello, with this wine hailing from the Mulino de Diavoli vineyard. This is one of the lower altitude vineyards owned by Pertimali and the wine is aged in stainless steel tanks for its first year of elevage, prior to being racked to ten year-old Slavonian oak botti for three more years of barrel aging prior to bottling. The 2015 Mulino offers up a superb bouquet of black cherries, plums, brown spices, roasted gamebird, a beautifully refined base of soil tones, cigar wrapper, woodsmoke and suave foundation of cedary oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied, focused and complex, with superb depth at the core, lovely soil undertow and grip, ripe, still fairly chewy tannins and a long, tangy and complex finish of impeccable balance. This is a stunning young bottle of Brunello!" - View From The Cellar |
