Fanti's 2013 Brunello di Montalcino is a fruit-driven expression that makes a fresh and simple presentation. The wine tastes younger than it actually is, thanks to those notes of vibrant cherry and crème de cassis. There is a candied element as well that resembles sweet watermelon or peach. It's hard to determine where the wine's aging trajectory will take it. If all the fresh fruit fades, it's not clear what will replace it. But the wine is sturdy and firm in texture, so it might just keep us guessing.

Lean yet intense, this red offers cherry, currant, strawberry, saline and iron flavors. Fresh and balanced, finishing compact. Best from 2020 through 2032. 5,000 cases made, 2,000 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add
