| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.4 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 11 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by marco_graz on 2/24/2024 & rated 93 points: Nice shining cherry color, quite light, at the nose quite complex, with sweet spices, red cruncy fruits, earthy, with a little bit of orange in the background. On the palate it's intense, with beautiful even if young tannins and lively acidity. Long and pleasant finish. Young but entering the drinking window with the right pairing, it is surely a more approachable version of Brunello but nonetheless one I really enjoyed. (296 views) | | | Tasted by Ashdene on 10/1/2023 & rated 91 points: Intense ruby, on the nose sour cherry, tea, earthy . Dry wine but well balanced . Smooth tannins . Lots of flavour . Drinking beautifully . Love it. Proper grown up wine (544 views) | | | Tasted by djwitzel on 8/1/2023 & rated 92 points: This half-bottle was accidentally(?) left in our agriturismo when we arrived in Montalcino last year, so we took it home to enjoy later.
First sips from the bottle, super tight, sharp, tannic Brunello, no doubt about it. Letting it open up for an hour did wonders - rich, minerally, tobacco and flint and so much delightfulness. Instant nostalgia for the bottle we had with the 1.5kg Florentine steak at Il Grifo a year prior in Montalcino.

(1734 views) | | | Tasted by Blauweiss on 10/1/2022 & rated 93 points: The best Fattoi I have ever had! Incredible nose with tons of cherries, leather, cigarbox, tea. Medium bodied, fantastic balance already, so fresh and juicy. (1636 views) | | | Tasted by Carl Palm on 9/23/2022 & rated 92 points: Really good wine, straight tannins in an average level.

Purple/burgundy hue, medium nose. First taste of modest dark fruits - cherries, blackberries, currants with quick finish and medium linger. Dry and smooth but no notable developed flavours - which should in time (2829 views) |
| Fattoi Producer websiteSangioveseSANGIOVESE: (Pronounced "sahn-joh-vhe-se").
Sangiovese - Italy's claim to fame, the pride of Tuscany. Traditionally made, the wines are full of cherry fruit, earth, and cedar. It produces Chianti (Classico), Rosso di Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino, Rosso di Montepulciano, Montefalco Rosso, and many others. Sangiovese is also the backbone in many of the acclaimed, modern-styled "Super-Tuscans", where it is blended with Bordeaux varietals (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc) and typically aged in French oak barrels, resulting a wine primed for the international market in the style of a typical California cabernet: oaky, high-alcohol, and a ripe, jammy, fruit-forward profile.[16]
Semi-classic grape grown in the Tuscany region of Italy. Used to produce the Chianti and other Tuscan red wines. Has many clonal versions, two of which seem to predominate. The Sangiovese Grosso clone Brunello variety is used for the dark red, traditionally powerful and slow-maturing "Brunello di Montalcino" wine. The other is the Sangiovese Piccolo, also known under the historical synonym name Sangioveto, used for standard Chianti Classico DOC wines. Old vine derived wine is often used in the better versions, needing several years ageing to reach peak. A third clone, Morellino, is used in a popular wine blend with the same name found in the southern part of the province. Recent efforts in California with clones of this variety are very promising, producing medium-bodied reds with rich cherry or plumlike flavors and aromas. Among the available clonal versions are R6 and R7, derived from the Montalcino region of Italy, having average productivity/ripening and producing small berries on medium size clusters. R10 and R24 are well-recommended. R23, listed as deriving from the Emilia-Romagna region, has good vigor with medium-small clusters with earlier ripening. R102 derives from the Montepulciano region and reported to have average vigor with moderate productivity that results in higher sugar levels and good acidity from medium-small berries on medium-small clusters. Has synonym name of Nielluccio where grown in Corsica.Italy Italian Wines (ItalianMade.com, The Italian Trade Commission) | Italian Wine Guide on the WineDoctorTuscany Tuscany (ItalianMade.com) | TuscanytMontalcino Montalcino websiteBrunello di Montalcino Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino (Official DOCG website) |
