Tuscany

Brunello di Montalcino

Developed garnet colour. On the nose, dark plums, leather, tobbacco, earth, dried herbs. On the palate, felt a bit tired, resolved tannins, lively acidity. A bit pronounced on the alcohol. On its decline

Sommelier

Fragrant and finessed, savoury and charming with fresh acidities, crunchy redcurrant and raspberry fruit, black tea, liquorice, sweet woodsmoke-infused tannins. Hard to resist, medium weight, slow drawn out finish. Marchesi Frescobaldi owners, winemaker Davide Bozzon.

Inside Bordeaux

Earthy tannins, fresh acidities, leather sandalwood and campfire, evident structure, a little rustic. Give it plenty of oxygen and time to open, tight on the finish right now, allow the bitter orange peel, pomegranate and black tea fragrance to curl out of the glass. Will benefit from a few more years in bottle. Largest estate in Brunello, owned by Marchesi Frescobaldi.

A great year for Brunello and this is like a breath of fresh air, transporting you to Tuscany. Emphasis on dried herbs, leather, campfire smoke with traces of sweet cherry, butterscotch and coffee bean. Love the soft and gentle waves of flavour that gather power through the palate; tannins are grippy and mouthwatering, and this is pretty irresistible. One of the original producers of Brunello in the 1800s, with vineyards planted between 250-400 metres above sea level, still setting the pace.
