Lorenzo Melani 2017 Brunello di Montalcino, $25.49-$64,99, 93 points, poured a cranberry/orange red with a clear meniscus and copious legs.
The aromas of red cherry, mint, and black tea were pleasant.
Lorenzo Melani delivered a medium-bodied red wine with bright acidity, firm grainy but comfortable tannins on a typically angular mouthfeel, and the delicious flavor of spearmint imbued red fruit.
Finished very long, warm and spicy, and with a well-balanced 13.5% alcohol.
Paired perfectly with my three-cheese pizza.
Frankly, when I saw this Brunello at such a low price, I figured it wouldn't be very good, not all Brunello Sangiovese wines are worth $65, but I was wrong about this one.
