95pts James Suckling

A young Brunello that shows plenty of ripe berry, cherry and floral character, as well as orange peel and sandalwood. It’s full-bodied, very layered and powerful with ripe, firm tannins that cover the wine. Powerful finish. Best ever from here. Needs plenty of time to come together. Try after 2024.

Winemaker Notes

Bright ruby with garnet hints.  Typical notes, on the nose, of ripe red fruits that combine with hints of sweet spices (vanilla and chocolate) with a delicate ethereal and balsamic background, with tones of tobacco and official herbs.  The great intensity in the mouth, the fullness and roundness are excellently supported by freshness and structure; the tannins robust and soft at the same time give an elegance and persistence to this wine and assure it of a long life. 

Brunello di Montalcino D.O.C.G. is a wine with an exceptional intensity of flavour, the fullness and roundness in the mouth go with its freshness and structure. We refine it for 36 months in 20/25 hl Slavonian oak barrels and at least 8 months in the bottle.
