Gorgeous ripe black/red fruit with dried thyme/rosemary/tomato leaf/black tea, acid and tannin both elevated and well balanced and long finish. Paired great with homemade lasagna....

I like this producer...red/black fruit, ripe&dried, savory/slightly herbal, sweet balsamic, tannin very mellow and acid medium...mid palate starting falling away and finish medium..hoping for more oomph/power/structure...but still quite tasty overall..

Lavender, and other flowers on the nose. Feels like I'm taking a walk through the forest. This is one of the best brunellos I've ever tried. Amazing. So different.

Ripe black cherries, red plums, and dried figs on the nose and palate. Chocolate, cedar, and anise round this out. This 17 year old wine is perfect for a 27 year wedding anniversary steak dinner!
