Wine Description

The 2013 Cotarella Brunello di Montalcino 'Le Macioche' showcases a brilliant ruby hue that lightly transitions to garnet at the rim. On the nose, it offers compelling aromas of ripe red cherry, raspberry, rose petals, subtle tobacco leaf, and earthy undertones. The palate is elegant yet structured, delivering flavours of plum, dried cherry, leather, and hints of balsamic. Medium to full-bodied, it reveals refined tannins and vibrant acidity, leading to a long, savoury finish accented by spice and mineral notes.
