AR | This is fairly deep and youthful in colour, but not giving away much by way of aroma; it's quite attractive on first taste, the sweetness of dark cherry fruit making a positive impression even if accompanied by a fairly hefty level of extraction that's slightly drying; it's nonetheless quite an honest wine, whose savoury elements combine on the finish to make it very much a food wine.

MP | The pronounced aromas of this wine suggest hotter growing conditions with stewed red and black fruit including cooked plum, griottes, tinned strawberry, black pepper and cinnamon. The finish is unapologetically generous and fat with high levels of both alcohol and oak that create an easy to love style of Brunello. There's plenty of fruit here to satisfy the hedonist and just enough structure for the purist. It fisnishes with notes of black cherry, black plum, liquorice, cedar and coconut.
