The accessible (and well-priced) Cupio is quickly developing its own brand recognition within the greater Pinino portfolio. The 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Cupio opens to a pretty bouquet with licorice and aniseed that gives lift and buoyancy to wild berry and crushed flowers. The fruit from this warm and sunny vintage is presented with good intensity and harmony, ceding to elegant tannins and fresh acidity. This risotto-friendly Brunello offers tangy, balsam and herbal sensations on the finish. Exactly 10,174 bottles were released.
