Brunello di Montalcino DOCG

Vintage :

2015

A highly rated wine, considered one of the best in the region

Complex and elegant, it requires time to be discovered in all its aspects. Notes of raspberries and red cherry with herbs, cedar wood, raisins, ginger and mint. Full and rich but also very bright, with red and dark berry flavors combined with a juicy, harmonious acidity and silky tannins. This is an amazing expression of Brunello di Montalcino with a unique character.
