Appearance: Bright
and deep ruby.
Aroma:
Orange peel, olive, dark cherry, earth and mushroom.
Palate: Medium-full
bodied. Structured with silkily fine tannins. Vibrant acidity that balance out
with time. Fruits and herbs. Long finish.
Definitely a gorgeous bottle of Brunello. This is
something unique. Starting to be accessible but will live its life for long.
Love the earthy tone while fruits and acidity still support its structure.
Elegant one. It is hard indeed to keep my hands off. Grazie!!!
