THE WINEMAKER COMMENT :
Complex and elegant Brunello, the perfect expression of this exceptional vintage.
On the nose, hints of coffee and pipe tobacco accompany the fruity aromas of blackberry and
plum jam together with a spicy note on the finish.
In the mouth, the roundness of the structure is well balanced by soft and ripe tannins.
Full and persistent in the finish.
