Shows balance and integration and a dark, inky appearance. Blackberry, plum cake, cinnamon bun, leather and tobacco aromas. Chewy, ripe mouthfeel frames plush fruit, while the dusty, structured finish features loads of dried tobacco leaf. -(5/1/2012) - 93

There's a fine balance between the ripe and juicy cherry, raspberry, floral and spice flavors in this red and its enveloping structure. This is compact, but everything is in the right proportions. Best from 2014 through 2026. 1,200 cases made. -BS

Brunello di Montalcino D.O.C.G. 2007
Soil Composition: Mixed marl with excellent drainage
Average Altitude: 250 metres above sea level
Density of Vines per Hectare: 5.500
Growth System: Balanced bilateral “cordone”
Grape Varietal: 100% Sangiovese Grosso, known as Brunello in Montalcino
Harvest: Selected grapes are picked by hand and placed in small crates with holes for ventilation. They are unloaded directly into the de-stemmer and fall gently into the vats thanks to the cellar design, exploiting the force of gravity.
Vinification: Intense extraction in contact with the marcs with frequent pump-overs during the initial fermentation. Great attention is paid to temperature control and the temperature never exceeds 33°C and is allowed to descend gradually before the separation of the wine and the marcs.
Aging in Wood: 24 moths in 600 litres tonneaux (French troncais and allier oak)
Bottle Aging: At least 6 months in a special air conditioned area of the cellar
Alcohol by Volume: 14.00%

Medium red. Reticent nose offers scents of plum, menthol, mocha and smoke. Plump and sweet, with moderate complexity to the flavors of plum, dried flowers and licorice. Turns a bit dry with air, but this is essentially an easygoing style. I'd give it a year or two in the cellar. 88 Points
