A fabulous example of Italy's most famous red wine, from an exceptional producer. Sumptuous black cherry fruit character on the nose, followed by fragrant hay, dried cranberry, dried cherry and kirsch. Underneath these, subtle nuances of creamy milk chocolate, truffle, violet, cracked pepper and seared steak emerge gradually. In the mouth, it has fabulous, velvety texture, with great richness from the well-ripened tannins, no shortage of flavour to plump it out and crisp acidity providing freshness and balance. This is absolutely delicious to drink already, although 15 minutes in the decanter before serving will help bring out its best. The wine's concentration, tannin structure, fine balance and brilliant track record also suggest it will cellar well, so be sure to order enough to keep you going for a decade!

Winemaking
The wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks with indigenous yeasts at a controlled temperature 25/28 °C for 15 - 20 days with the submerged cap technique. After that it is aged for three years in large French oak barrels (30 - 50 hl or 872 -1373 Gallon). After being aged in wood, the wine is bottle aged: this is an essential process in guaranteeing the pleasantness and the complexity that have made the Brunello di Montalcino world-famous.
