An intense and elegant Brunello. Ruby red with delicate garnet coloured highlights. On the nose, it is characterised by an intense bouquet with sweet notes of blackberry and blackcurrant, combined with floral hints of rose, which contribute freshness and vitality. The body is full and powerful. Soft, smooth tannins are well integrated with a marked acidity. A Brunello that represents the synthesis of power and depth.

It pairs particularly well with rich and tasty dishes. Perfect as a meditation wine.

100% Sangiovese

Aging: 80% in French oak casks (90-60 hl.) and 20% in French oak barriques (350 l.) for 2 years at least.

A beautiful red with cedar, mushroom and cherry character, as well as hints of sandalwood. It’s medium-bodied and very polished with loveliness and finesse that comes through clearly. A wine to drink young, but will age very nicely.

The nose is balanced, yet tense, as the warmth of tar and anise burns beneath sweet, almost flirtatious aromas of vanilla, Luxardo cherry and blood orange peel, with a saline freshness. The palate leans into the fruit and salinity, but a blast of pepper brings more warmth. Tightly coiled tannins mirror and emphasize the wine's overall energetic tension–a great deal for a classic example of Brunello. -D.C.
