Pale garnet yellowish rim. Restrained yet elegant nose of dried flowers, mixed fresh red fruits, sour cherry, liquorice, tar, wet stones, some leather and spices. Mid weight on palate, it is loaded with transparent minerality and good fruits intermixed with farmyard and earthy notes. Seductive already! Will improve over the next decade.

Small family producer, 3-4000 bottles / year. Located just outside Montalcino village, on the high altitude northern side. Ultra biodynamic vineyard management and classic vinification, aged in large bottis. Soil littered with huge seashell fossils. Cool and extremely elegant wines, early accessible but can age for decades. Similar style to Biondi Santi.
Seductive nose with soft semi-bright red berries, chocolate, coffee notes, leather, tobacco and hints of brown sugar. Smooth and elegant texture. 95p

This Brunello has really gained weight since I tasted it last time. It is a beauty and reveals complex notes and a roundness that makes extremely drinkable already now although it will still develop further.

Obviously, this is still just a puppy. But what a wine. Absolutely stellar fruit, drinkability, structure and complexity which undoubtedly will only evolve positively in the future. Complimenti, Marino!

No notes. Very silky structure, elegant and refined. Balanced acidity. Lovely fruit. Drinks great but no rush.
