Youthful fruit tones of cherry and raw blackberry set the stage. Those bold fruit layers will evolve slowly with more cellar aging, integrating with the light spice, tobacco, cedar and earth. The mouthfeel is bold, round and long-lasting.

Tiezzi’s vineyard- select Brunello has an austere and sophisticated edge that comes forward thanks to the wine’s aromas of leather, spice, dried blueberries and cassis. The wine is bright and chewy in the mouth and offers a clean, polished quality of tannins.

Here’s a dark and concentrated Brunello with thick aromas of spice, smoke and tobacco lavished over a solid core of black fruit. The nose is definitely on the oak-driven side but the mouth is bursting with fresh fruit notes. It makes for an excellent ensemble.

This vineyard-designate Brunello opens with ripe tones of prune, thick blackberry fruit and lingering but subdued Indian spice. This is not an overblown or overly intense wine. Instead, the focus is on elegance and longevity.

Lean, compact and crisp, this Brunello is redolent of oak spice, ripe fruit, cured meat, rum cake and leather. It shows a sharply focused mouthfeel with tight structure and a streamlined feel.

Plump and thick aromas of black cherry and blueberry are backed by delicate nuances of red apple, tar and cola. There are pungent, balsam-like layers here that give the wine lift and buoyancy and ultimately help the wine taste refreshing and clean.

Enzo Tiezzi has perfected his classic, traditional Brunello and delivers a tonic and fresh wine that would pair magically with hearty meat or pasta dishes that need to be broken down with extra acidity. On the nose, it shows aromas of sweet spice, almond, vanilla, caramel and wild berries.

Thick and penetrating with dense aromas of cola, black fruit, forest floor and spice, Tiezzi brings us a confident and classy expression from Montalcino. There’s a playful note of sweet succulence on the close.
