Complex and elegant Brunello, the perfect expression of this exceptional vintage. On the nose, hints of coffee and pipe tobacco accompany the fruity aromas of blackberry and plum jam together with a spicy note on the finish. In the mouth, the roundness of the structure is well balanced by soft and ripe tannins. Full and persistent in the finish.
Long aging wine pairs excellently with rich and structured dishes, as well as aged cheese and cured meats. Its complexity makes it perfect as a meditation wine.
