This gorgeous Brunello is packed tight with personality and intensity. The wine is redolent of candied cherry, blackberry, rum cake, cinnamon bread and dried ginger. It shows steely, firm structure and a tightly knit texture. Compact, sharp and decisive.

This is an impressive wine. Like its name suggests, Terra Rossa (red earth) is bold and opulent with unrelenting aromas of dark berry, leather, spice and chocolate fudge. Toasted-oak notes fill in the background and remind you that this is a modern expression of Brunello that will appeal to those who love a soft and layered style. All that rich red fruit softens…

Very oak driven, with notes of cinnamon, vanilla, exotic spice, toasted coconut and dark chocolate. There is dark fruit, like cherry and blackberry, at the back. Ripe tannins impart a plush, rich mouthfeel and loads of dense, chewy intensity.
