The 2012 Pietranera is a refined Brunello di Montalcino, which slowly opens to aromas of cherries and red berries woven together with exotic spices, earth, floral and hints of grilled herbs. It possesses a medium body, with silky tannins, which carry though into the lingeirng finish. As with previous vintages, this is reserved upon opening, and demands a significant amount of air contact before it begins to fully express itself. That being said, I beleive this will age beautifully over the course of the next decade. (Best 2019-2027) - February, 2016 (JD)
