BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO 2017
"Mostra frutta matura di un'annata calda, ciliegie e marmellata di fragola. La morbidezza lascia spazio al maggior peso della frutta, in particolare della frutta nera. La fresca acidità aiuta a bilanciare il vino nel suo finale di media complessità."

90 POINTS- BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO DOCG 2011: The 2011 Brunello di Montalcino shows aromas of candied fruit and cassis that are tight and precious. This wine does not share the wide and expansive personality of many of the other Brunellos produced in this warm vintage. Instead, this expression is more introspective and timid. Those delicate berry notes are followed by cola, balsam herb and licorice root. The wine is streamlined and simple and this comes as a pleasant surprise given the much meatier and heftier characteristics of its peers.

aging in large oak casks and is fermented with indigenous yeasts.
