I will start with a cheap shot: If your name is Brunelli you would want to make Brunello, wouldn't you. But to be clear, the 2012 Gianni Brunelli Brunello di Montalcino is a remarkable wine. Remarkable for two reasons. First, you would take this for a Nebbiolo, second, this is a very good wine.
The wine has a garnet colour, and the floral and perfumed notes on the nose are strong. On the palate, the wine is red fruited, and has interesting secondary flavours of leather and smoke. This is an elegant wine with great finesse. It finishes with dry and chalky tannins.
The wine is perfect to drink now.
Score: 95/+++
