On the leaner and more austere side, this lighter-colored Brunello has some dark macerated cherry fruit, lots of iron-y iodiney savory mineral notes. Good acids and moderate but soft tannins. Will benefit from a few years but very nice with rich meat dishes right now.

Buy now. This is a classic Sangiovese wine. If you like Brunello, you’ll like this.

Drank with NYE dinner with in-laws. Ate oven roasted bone-in pork chops and sweet potatoes. Very good red berry fruit and light earthy flavors. Good pairing with food. Nice medium-length, light finish.

Very solid Brunello. A bit tight with tannins on opening. Day 2 and day 4 were smooth with medium body. Dark berries and spice on the nose. Earthy & fruit on the palate with dark berries, balsamic, baking spice. Moderate finish. Nice complexity but missing the excitement of an outstanding brunello. Good value.

Serious nose, round on the tongue. Great with bacon/eggplant lasagna

Just what the doctor ordered on this crazy Monday. Tart cherry, forest floor and a little grip on the backside.
