Lovely, medium weight Brunello that is drinking very well at age 12+. Juicy red cherries, red currants, and dried thyme are followed by light tannins in the finish. Less drying or acidic than some of its peers, which makes it especially easy to enjoy.

Starting to think about dinner & Brunello seems the thing to warm up with on this snowy night.

Beautiful brownish ruby color. Tempting Brunello bouquet. Delicious ripe fruit and medium+ acidity. Aging in barrique, but oak sensations are subtle. Organically grown. Ready to drink with good airing.

Brick red with ruby reflections. Truffle, mushroom and undergrowth in bouquet. Red and black fruits, and a subtle hint of licorice on the palate with some traces of mineral. Earthy and balanced and it keeps evolving. Tannins are definitely present and integrated, yet this wine still has quite a bit of life to it. Exquisite!

Fabulous Brunello! The nose is complex and earthy, rich, and fruity. The taste is truly awesome. There are ripe berries, strong spices like ginger and vanilla, some tannin, and great earth notes. The terroir comes through very clearly and provokes an emotional response. Really terrific!
