The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino opens slowly and gracefully before it shows its full potential. This slow moving bouquet is a beautiful quality that is shared by many of the best wines from this stellar vintage. Once it gets started, this Brunello offers wild berry, graphite, tar and balsam herb tones that are direct and focused. This wine is steady and sure. It also reveals balanced acidity that adds to the length and the polished feel that this wine majestically projects. This vintage from Poggio di Sotto should evolve at a slow pace for the next 10-15 years.

This ripe version is full of macerated cherry, raspberry and kirsch flavors that are accented by notes of leather and spice. Reveals a hint of acetone, but this has character and a sweet fruit element that carries through the long, taut finish. Best from 2017 through 2030. 1,200 cases made, 350 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add
