MONTALCINO CIACCI PICCOLOMINI D'ARAGONA: TASTING NOTES

Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona’s Brunello di Montalcino shows a ruby red color with garnet reflections. The nose reveals aromas of ripe red fruits combined with potpourri of rose and violet, black pepper, and dark spices. Balsamic hints and forest floor nuances enrich the aromatic profile.
