Casisano Colombaiolo Brunello di Montalcino Riserva docg 2011 Magnum 1,5 l

Tasting Note
A deep, intense ruby with tinges of garnet, it offers a fine, complex nose, in which the fruit combines with a sweet spiciness deriving from its long aging. On the palate it is austere, with ripe, velvety tannins producing an excellent balance between great structure and elegance. The finish is fresh and harmonious.

Serving Suggetions
Its full-bodied yet elegant style (resulting from its long maturation) make it ideal for accompanying rich dishes such as red meats, braised meats and game, particularly when served with mushrooms or truffles. Excellent with very mature cheeses.
