Top Notes For

9.1

Medium-bright ruby in the glass. Tart red cherry, raspberry, and vanilla on the nose, with smoky spice and hints of tobacco and dried fig. Juicy red fruit dominates, supported by high acidity, medium tannins, and a medium-plus finish. Alcohol is prominent, adding intensity. Needs ample air—after 45 minutes, it was still opening up. A bold, structured Brunello that will benefit from decanting or aging.
