Fattoria La Lecciaia Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2015

Aromas of stewed plum, dried hay, toasted oak, espresso and game lead the nose. The palate delivers succulent wild cherry, fig, baking spice, tea leaf and pipe tobacco balanced by polished tannins.

The Fattoria La Lecciaia (lah leh chai’ ah) is a relatively new winery by Tuscan standards but has in its relatively short existence become well established in the Tuscan wine scene. La Lecciaia was purchased by its current owner, Mauro Pacini, in 1983 and has approximately 38 acres under vine in the prestigious Montalcino area and has as its neighbors some of the oldest and most celebrated Brunello producers. In 2000 they expanded its vineyard property with the acquisition of acreage in Campagnano near Grosetto in southwestern Tuscany.
