Cherry cola, licorice, fresh berry fruit, cigar box and smoky tobacco give this wine a bright, albeit slightly rustic, personality. In the mouth, it shows nicely balanced acidity and tannins, providing extra length to the dry, elegant finish.

Spicy wood notes, dark fruit, rum cake, dried ginger, licorice and cola add up to an ethereal and elegant Brunello that is more smooth and silky than it is bold and bulky. Spice, sandalwood and cedar appear on the close, but it has a compact, streamlined structure.

This Brunello is definitely on the ripe side with meaty aromas of smoked bacon, bresaola, Indian spice, smoke and crushed black pepper. Fruit notes are few and far between and include dried currants and prunes. Despite the wine’s chewy boldness, it does offer a much needed blast of tonic freshness on the finish.

Bright cherry cola, dried ginger, cassis and rum cake open the bouquet of this pretty Brunello. This crisp wine offers some complexity, but remains an easy drinking and fresh expression of Sangiovese Grosso overall.
