Palazzina Le Macioche Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Le Macioche 2011

Blog

Virtually unknown in the US, Le Macioche is in the same neighborhood as Biondi Santi—their stylish 2011 Riserva is a study in lightness and complexity. Aromas of menthol, incense, pomegranate, leather, mushroom, and forest floor give way to an understory of well-integrated, ultra-fine tannins. The acid here is quite pretty, too—it crescendos mid-palate, and softly glides to a mineral driven finish. Lovely and drinking well now, and should continue to improve. 14.5% ABV | Sample
