San Polino Brunello di Montalcino

from £72.49

Expect leather, spice and red cherry up front. Dried plum and violet bring the extra detail; the firm tannin gives it grip without taking over.

At the table: A bottle like this makes sense beside roast beef or hard cheese. There is real grip here, which is useful with a rich cut, while leather stays loud enough to be heard.

Origin: Montalcino, Tuscany, Italy
Grape: Sangiovese
Vegan: Yes
