Top Notes For

9.2

Light ruby in color.

Stinky on the nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel.

This 5 year old Brunello is still young but already delicious, and will continue to get better in the next 15 years.

A great vintage for this region, and it is showing.

Robert Parker 93 points. Wine Enthusiasts 94 points. Wine Spectator 95 points.

A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with food.

Sangiovese grapes were fermented in cement tanks, and aged for 30 months in oak barrels.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$70.
