The Sommelier's comment: this important Brunello di Montalcino has a ruby red color with an immediate and immediately effective aroma with clear aromas of morello cherry, licorice, pepper, plum and all around the typical "dust" of Brunello to embellish a picture intense and very fresh on the nose. The stylistic rigor and expansive structure are confirmed on the palate. It has strength, vital acid texture and excellent flavor on the finish
