High tonned and herby fruit on the nose. Situated apparently on the best exposition of Montalcino right by the abbey of Sant' Antimo (if I got that right). Nine months in Solvenina oak with the idea that its very fresh, elegant, very high tonned in style.
Almost so high tonned that it doesn't taste very Brunello-ish to me. More like a fine Chianti Classico. Not that I mind, just not very Brunello (to me). Tasty still. Maybe this is to the north which is why its so high tonned?
