THE WINEMAKER'S COMMENT
A rich and elegant Brunello, both in structure and in olfactory expression. Brilliant ruby ??red with garnet reflections, the nose is sweet and fruity, the hints of fresh red fruit stand out and blend perfectly with the more complex notes of licorice and pipe tobacco. The structure is powerful and the palate is pleasantly wrapped in a consistent tannic grain well balanced by a pleasant acidity. Great potential for aging and persistence.
