Ruby with red fruit and citrus zest. On the palate strawberry and cherry with savory spice and minerality. Fine tannins, well balanced lingering finish ending with cacao and earthy tones.

It's not as complex as Colombaio for the same vintage but this one will surpass C in the long run.

Very nice Brunello. Opens up and becomes more flavorful. Light fruity taste.
