Brunello di Montalcino

Offering rose, red berry and earth aromas, this perfumed red adds to its flavor profile with iron and tobacco notes. Complex and balanced, with lively acidity and an edge of chalky tannins on the long aftertaste. Shows terrific intensity and freshness. Best from 2027 through 2043. 8,834 cases made, 3,325 cases imported.

A little tight now, with cherry and cedar character on the nose and palate. Plenty of flowers as well. Medium-bodied and crisp, with firm tannins that are all together. There’s energy and brightness to this. Give it two or three years to open. Drink from 2027.
