Tasting notes
Hey, let's open this Santa Giulia Brunello di Montalcino. It's a 2005 vintage, made from Sangiovese grapes. This wine is born from the rich soils of Tuscany, boasting a robust structure yet showcasing an elegant side.
In Volume 29 of 'Drops of God', Shizuku and Honma enjoyed this at a restaurant. They described it as a wine with the carefree spirit of a woman swinging joyfully, captured in the bright sunlight and gentle breeze. It's said to be rare in Japan, so if you've got it, you're in for a special experience.
Pouring it into the glass, you’ll see a slightly orange-bricked hue, showing its age. The aroma is deep, with notes of tea, dried herbs, and a touch of tobacco wafting from the glass. When tasted, it greets you with lively Sangiovese acidity, followed by smooth tannins that elegantly meld in the mouth.
The finish is moderately long, with complex flavors lingering on. It has a strong structure yet maintains a softness that balances it well. Serving it around 18°C will help bring out its full potential.
