Winery of Knowledge

A rich and elegant Brunello, as much in structure as in olfactory expression. The structure is powerful and the palate is pleasantly enveloped by a consistent tannic grain well balanced by pleasant acidity. Great aging potential and persistence.

Pairs especially well with rich, flavorful dishes. Perfect as a meditation wine.
