Celebrating 47 a month later (post colonoscopy and 10 year anniversary celebrations). Staple favourite with my favourite person. We wanted a Gianni Brunelli and said so to the Somm; he then suggested this approachable delight. Great, great bottle. Happy and reasonable (for Otto e Mezzo!). ❤️ — 2 years ago

One of the better Brunelli that I have tried this year, dark in color almost inky that is structured, balanced with a silky texture showing an intoxicating nose of cherry, graphite, licorice, savory spices & tobacco. — 5 years ago

A solid entry level wine. Fairly dark, quite satisfying. Maybe sits between local and international in flavour profile with some black currant as well as plum and black cherry. — 6 years ago

This was one of the better Brunelli I have tried this year. Structured for the long run showing laser like focus, precision, cherry, berry fruit with an inky, cedar, menthol spice followed by tobacco. Could drink this all night. — 4 years ago

My 1st time trying this Brunello that was purchased based on Antonio’s note & the WA’s perfect score. This had nice cherry & berry fruit that was elegant & polished with good spice & floral. Enjoyable now for its balance but needs another 5 yrs. — 4 years ago

Super Tuscan is right! A great versatile blend that would be right at home with any Italian dish — 9 years ago

With some of the entry-level Brunelli like this one, it’s a tough call when to open them. In my experience many try to play in the big leagues by overextracting. This one’s always been on the tannic, somewhat astringent side, so you want to wait to allow the tannins to drop and for it to settle down, but you don’t want to wait so long that the fruit dries up. I think this is about as good as it’s going to get. The fruit is still there, and the astringency is abating a bit. Still tannic. Good acids. Should go well with a simple pasta with tomato and sausage sauce.

UPDATE: After 24 hours under a vacuum seal, it was so astringent as to be nearly undrinkable, to my taste. — a year ago

This was 100pts and James Suckling #1 wine in 2019 it was great and still young. Benefits from 1 hour of air, like most brunelli. Incredibly balanced and wonderful umami, tea leaf, leather, kirsch and just yum. Fabu wine that I’ll cellar at least a 6pk of to enjoy Over the years to come. — 6 years ago
