Tasting Notes
Ruby red in the glass, this Brunello opens with cherry, cranberry and raspberry, joined by more savoury notes of earth, tobacco and coffee, with a mineral edge. The palate balances concentrated fruit with lively freshness and firm, structured tannins, leading to a notably long finish. Already showing appealing complexity, it has the structure to develop further in bottle. Its suggested drinking window is approximately 2025–2038.
