Clear hints of cherries and plums are accompanied by Brunello's traditional floral aromas of violets and lingering spicy notes. Concentrated and rich, well structured with the austerity of the tannins balanced by alcohol and intensity on the long finish.
Exceptionally intense colour, full bouquet with oaky, vanilla aromas with almost jammy, fruity tones. Dry, robust and harmonious palate with soft balanced tannins. (6 x 75 cl)
The eye is immediately drawn to its pronounced ruby red tonality, dense but vividly clear. It exudes expansive, multi-layered aromas, ripe-fruit fragrances of dark cherry and dried plum melding into more pronounced, minerally essences of pencil lead and stone, while suggestions of tobacco leaf seem to bring a sense of balance and completeness. Pulpy fruit comes to the fore in the attack, with tannins that are expressive but not invasive; they ably balance a nice vein of crisp acidity that makes the flavours sing. The long-lingering finale flaunts a rich mosaic of nuanced flavours. (6 x 75 cl)
