Lean style of Brunello that sneaks up on you with deceptive power. Blood orange, cherry, pomegranate, mint, vanilla, smoke, tobacco leaf, menthol, balsamic herb. Major acidity and lean, sinewy but rather persistent tannins. Laser-focused and tight in the early going, taking on more flesh with air. This one was way under my radar but it’s a legit Brunello that will age very well.

Mouth-filling dark fruit flavors with tobacco and anise.

Brunello Di Montalcino = my happy place! Bright red fruits and a recognizable elegance & finesse. Consistently a great representation of the Sangiovese grape varietal. Great weekend to all! Cheers🍷

Super light for a brunello which must be why it was in the light red case

Bought these a few years ago based on a great trip to Sasa's Enoteca years ago. I had honestly forgotten all about them (how do you know when you have too much wine?). Showing excellent.
