Garnet color with bricking. Not much nose. Sweet cherry and plum on the palate with some tobacco and iron. Sweet fruit dominates the savory aspects. Very enjoyable to drink and very nice for the vintage.

This one has cellared well. Pours deep red offering a complex nose of dark fruit with a hint of tobacco. Soft mouth with a delightful lingering finish. 'tis a pity that there is only have one more in the cellar.

Tasted at the winery with the owner of San Filippo, liked it so much I bought a bottle. Decided to open it for my new friends in Lucignano d'Arbia at a dinner of risotto ai funghi - it proved a great match. After a week here in Montalcino tasting more than a dozen different Brunello wines from this hot, dry vintage, this wine shows no signs of roasted or darker fruit characteristics that many do. In fact, this well-lifted effort is rather elegant and cool. I don't see the structure for extended cellaring, but early and mid-term drinkers will be very pleased, especially those in the traditionally grown/medium-bodied camp. Fantastic effort for the vintage. 14,0% abv.(fully resolved), thru 2023. recommended
PnP, served non-blind. Best to aerate in decanter at least 60 minutes.
