Top Notes For
Wulf Losee

2021 vintage opened November 2026. Rosemary on the nose, and (dare I say it?) something candyish and fruity like bubblegum trails behind the rosemary. The fruit on the front is just as unique. I taste black olives and underripe cherries on the tip of my tongue. Medium to high tannic structure with chlorophyll high note on the mid pallet. A strong mineral blast on the finish that ends a bit too soon. But overall, this works! This is a very powerful and interesting Brunello. Not for the faint of heart, but I’m enjoying it immensely.
