Medium ruby-colored with a faint nose of underbrush, cedar, and spice box, this firmly-structured, medium-bodied Brunello displays high acidity, moderate tannin, and a light finish. It should last for 10-20 years, but will always be a lighter-styled effort. Importer: Premier Wine Merchants, New York, NY; tel. (212) 399-4200

Shows interesting white pepper and cherry aromas and flavors, but it's unbalanced and short on the palate. Medium-bodied, with a hint of raisins and a very tart finish. The acidity is too high to get better with age. Drink now. 4,600 cases made.??–JS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add
