Rich and full-bodied, cassis and chocolate-cherries, mild sweet tobacco. Nicely concentrated with tannins that still need 3+ years to balance out. Lovely.

A shing example of a brunello that is aged and in its peak drinking window. Decanted for a little over a hour. Traditional style brunello and no rush to drink. This still has several more peal drinking years ahead of it.

In a good spot, but has some life ahead. Good floral notes. I drank it with a steak.

Opulent and sexy with underlying structure and fine fruit. Pure expression of Fiorita and drinking beautifully at present.

Well made, but they seem sadly lost these days... Where are they heading? Way better on release.
