Fresh cherry and blackberry aromas with some floral character. It’s full-to medium-bodied with firm tannins and a long, linear finish. Shows tension and balance for the vintage. From organically grown grapes. Try after 2023.

A certified-organic wine, the 2017 Brunello di Montalcino is a wine of elegance and finesse, and these qualities emerge unobstructed despite the hot and dry vintage. Despite the many challenges of the growing season, this 30,000-bottle release remains faithful to Sangiovese and the purity of the appellation. The fruit shows wild berry, blue flowers and balsam herb. These delicate and carefully measured aromas cede to bright acidity and polished tannins.
