The 2001 Brunello di Montalcino Madonna delle Grazia is darker in color than the regular bottling and presents a more intense expression in its notes of flowers, minerals, menthol, earthiness and ripe dark fruit. More structured than the normal bottling, it will also drink at its finest with a few additional years of bottle age. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2018.
