The wine I have opened is the 2016 Fanti Brunello Di Montalcino - Siena, Italy.

On the nose there is cherry, plum, strawberry, cranberry, red currant, tomato, leather, tobacco, licorice, spice and earth.

The palate has tart cherry, cranberry, strawberry, spice, clay pots, licorice, mint, dried roses and dry dirt.

This is a medium to full bodied wine that has good complexity, medium+ to high acidity and medium + to high fine grained mouthcoating tannins that gives a long earthy red fruit finish. A very nice Brunello that has a long life to go. Definitely needs time and decant to help open up. The weekend has been a beautiful one so far and I hope everyone are enjoying themselves. Please stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

Delicious. Heavier but not heavy. Some smoke and earthiness. Wonderful with food. Was a treat for dinner at ‘Tine’s new place.
