Cupano Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG 2015 1,5L

This is a classic Brunello Riserva of Sangiovese with pronounced tannins, fresh acidity and good body from the warm Tuscan climate and the long aging. The tannins become softer and more rounded when they meet fatty, protein-rich dishes, so choose robustly prepared meat with a rich texture, where the fat cushions and smooths the mouth. At the same time the wine's acidity cuts through richness and umami, so braised and slow-cooked dishes fall naturally into line. Steer clear of lean fish dishes, where the tannins easily take on a metallic edge.
