Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Got another ‘12. Established in 1971 when Giovanni Neri acquired a large estate in Montalcino. Aged for almost 4 years on oak, 100% Sangiovese. Ruby with aromas of ripe dark fruits, oak and spice. Full-bodied wine with medium+ acidity, fine developed smooth tannins with elegance & finesse. Ripe fruit flavors of cherry & strawberry, complex with notes of cacao, tobacco, toasty & earthiness on the long finish. Very nice, developed well. My Wow Wine!

Sipping Fine Wine

Established in 1971 when Giovanni Neri acquired a large estate within Montalcino. One of my Wow Wines! Aged for almost 4 years on oak, 100% Sangiovese. Ruby with aromas of ripe dark fruits, oak and spice. Full-bodied wine with medium acidity, fine yet smooth tannins with elegance and finesse. The ripe fruit flavors of cherry and strawberry are complex yet not overdone. Some cacao, tobacco, toasty and earthiness appear on the long finish. Very nice.

Typical Brunello signature on the nose and palete. Delicate oak treatment. Nice presentation with pin-point precision. Lifted red fruit notes finish the show. Leave this for a few more years.

Lovely Brunello, sexy, tempting inviting and delicious! Deep dark garnet red, multi layered aroma, exploding with dark fruits, cassis, black current, cherries, all spiced with mocach and sweet spices, full body, round rich, with lovely integrated tannins, and fresh acidity, long sexy delicious finish. Lovely wine! My score 90, drink to 2022
