Monday, January 4, 2021 - A nice wine with a fruity front of Sangiovese Grosso. but that is it as far as it resembles a Brunello to me. It was not highly integrated , the fruit was not layered and the finish was not smooth and elegant. The finish was very dry, somewhat gripping, and very long.

It's far from its peak--this wine starts to show at 10 years, and improves from there. Don't let this experience affect your buying. Buy the 2016 in decent quantity if you can wait 10, 15, 20 years. For the money, this is an unbelievable ager. Patience will be rewarded.
