The Brunate has really come along since the last time I tasted it. At first, the bouquet seemed quite restrained, yet it quickly blossomed in the glass to reveal mineral-infused bright cherry, with dusty florals, crushed stone and hints of undergrowth. On the palate, I found fleshy textures, offset by brisk acids and tart cherry, as sweet spices and minerals saturated the senses beneath a layer of fine tannin. The finish was long, dark and structured, as dried red fruits resonated above a cloak of tannin and minerals. Today, the Brunate comes across as the most classic and balanced of Boglietti’s 2015s.

The nose was withdrawn at first, taking time to open in the glass, showing a mix of cherries and stone dust with hints of dried roses. On the palate, I found a sweet and spicy display, given further liveliness through zesty acids, as ripe red fruits and late-coming tannin saturated the senses. The finish was long with tart berries fighting for a chance to show, as grippy tannin clenched the palate. As backward as this is today, I have a feeling there’s something special in store for us down the road.
