  much lighter than other brunellos ive had. red fruits, some earth and has a little funk/barnyard. Not huge acidity, tannic but not overly so, it’s quite refreshing actually. Again, very different from other brunellos

  It’s amazing to me how variable in style Brunello can be. I believe that Sangiovese is a grape that can do anything - dark/powerful vs light/quaffable and everything in between. After a quick decant, this wine showed brambly plummy fruit, low acid and low tannins. A bit overshadowed by grilled steak, so I’ll pair it differently next time.

  Decanted ~3 hours. This was good, though lacking in acidity to my taste. Tannins were very present, to be sure.

  Medium ruby in the glass. Somewhat closed on the nose so give it a go in the decanter for about an hour. Open for business even in its youth - notes of raspberry, sour cherry, garam masala, leather and some dried herbs. Tannins are still abit tight, but this will mellow down in a year’s time. Acidity is giving the fruit all the spotlight, while the high alcohol gives this its much needed weight without being too heavy. An elegant style of Brunello, just how it’s supposed to be. Love it.

  Aperto al tavolo 40-45 minuti prima di servirlo. Naso intenso di visciole, more e mirtillo, stratificato scopre cuoio, pepe nero, spezie esotiche e un sottofondo balsamico e di liquirizia. Al palato nonostante si capisca subito che è veramente giovane offre una bella armonia. La sensazione tattile è coprente, anche se freschezza e tannini di notevole qualità spingono e facilitano. Finale lungo fruttato e mentolato. Buono davvero ora, ma lascia immaginare quanto buono sarà tra qualche anno.
