Smoky ash and brimstone give this wine an elegant, mineral personality that is coupled with cherry fruit, red rose and wet earth notes. It shows a fine, silky quality, with accents of cola and black licorice. Drink after 2016.

This is a rich and deeply oak-driven expression of Brunello with layers of spice and smoke that sit heavy over ripe fruit aromas of plum, prune and black currant. The texture is smooth and rich and the tannins are soft.

Barnyard notes first meet the nose but lessen in intensity to reveal cherry cola, dark plum, forest floor, moist tree bark and tobacco. Offers a medium to full build with persistent length and a firm, spicy finish. Imported by Tricana Imports.

Here’s a plump and rich aromatic expression from the 2005 vintage with spicy oak tones that are woven within the wine’s natural fabric of cherry and black fruit. However, in the mouth the wine is lightweight and lean with a tannic dusting at the end.
