Paesaggio Inatteso Brunello di Montalcino Sheet Vintage 2012

Controlled designation of origin

Description

Sheet Vintage 2012

CLIIMATE : Tuscany's low yields in 2012 can be largely attributed to two extremely cold weeks in February and cool, wet weather during flowering in May. Warm, dry weather from June to August caused drought concern and it was important to pay attention to working the soil and canopy management. Rain at the end of August brought much-needed relief for the vines and extended the ripening period, particularly for the late-ripening Sangiovese. In the end, it was important to harvest parcel by parcel, as the ripeness was uneven, a result of the prolonged flowering period. Though the summer was dry, it wasn't too hot and by all reports the Sangiovese-based wines show good acidity and fruit

17,5/20

“This is opulent, sporting cherry, raspberry, spice and tobacco flavors. Features a coarse weave of tannins, but the elements hang together nicely, picking up graphite and earth accents on the lingering aftertaste. Best from 2020 through 2035. 550 cases made.”
-Bruce Sanderson

“This is a new entry wine from the historic Camigliano estate. The 2012 Brunello di Montalcino Paesaggio Inatteso offers a more robust style and more impactful aromatic intensity. The bouquet grabs you by the nose, so to speak. This seems to be a super charged version of the Brunello annata with a more luscious and enriched personality. I feel as if Paesaggio Inatteso (“unexpected scenery” in Italian) is crafted as a means of offering consumers a more approachable wine that can be consumed in the near term at their favorite restaurant. Only 6,600 bottles were produced.”
-Monica Larner

“Medium bright red. Strawberry, baking spices and dried flowers on the perfumed nose. Dense and focused but a little reduced on entry, with austere flavors of raspberry and strawberry that offers a bright mineral quality. Finishes long, tangy and bright.”
-Ian D’Agata

“Complex aromas of dried flowers and walnuts follow through to a medium to full body, a solid core of fruit, ripe tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Drink or hold.”
-James Suckling
