| | An absolute delight and an incredible bargain for lovers of classic Brunello di Montalcino. Brilliant and lively ruby red in color; the noble bouquet captures the essence of Brunello di Montalcino, with scents of wild berries, violets, truffles and a hint of smoky roast nuts. On the palate, the vibrant, precisely focused fruit has a vibrant, ringing, wild cherry complexity reminiscent of a Chambolle-Musigny or Volnay; however, the deep forest, roast chestnut, and plum tart elements of classic Brunello announce themselves strongly as the wine opens in the glass. Although this wine has at least 10-15 years of aging potential, the unusually forward fruit and impressively polished tannins make it delicious to drink now. For maximum enjoyment, it should be decanted approximately one hour before drinking. |
