Opened to accompany superb take-out lasagna from Zano's in Truckee. Popped & poured, beautiful brick-red Brunello color indicating plenty of life, nose & palate of sweet but restrained Sangiovese fruit, lovely acidity & decent finish. Maybe not the layered complexity of top Brunellos, but just delicious. Wish I had more.

light red in color; nose of bright cherries and anise. On the palate, cherries stand out with anise on the finish, along with oaky notes. Lighter in concentration than many other brunellos, but very nice characterand good value.

Bright cherry fruit and big tobacco notes. Rounds out nicely on the palate with a 1-2 hour decant. Punching above its weight class for the 05 vintage.

Ripe red fruit, tobacco and leather on the nose. High acidity, sweet tannins, very balanced. Delicious wine

Bottle part of K&L club Italiano. Fine Brunello, maybe a little young. Flavor profile didn't knock me off my feet.
