One of the top wines of the tasting thanks to intriguing complexity and depth of character. Cassis, herbal, smoked notes and snappy acidity are woven tight to establish texture and balance. It’s hard to separate the well-amalgamated flavors. Imported by Monsieur Touton Selections Ltd.

Ripe and plump with pretty aromatic layers of blackberry, cherry and spice, this textbook Brunello speaks highly of the beautiful territory that shaped it. The wine is bright, crisp and a touch sour in the mouth with enduring flavors of white cherry and cassis.

Nicely integrated aromas of black fruit, cured meat, pressed rose petal and cherry shape a full-bodied, luscious expression of Brunello. The wine is streamlined, crisp and elegant in the mouth.

Brunello Vigna Manapetra shows soft roundness and ripe aromas of cherry, blackberry, sweet spice and barbecue smoke. It feels tight, firm and well integrated in the mouth and shows very nice acidity on the close, which is fresh without being sharp.

Here’s an elegant and focused expression from Montalcino with tight aromas of blackberry, cola, anise seed and polished black stone. The mouthfeel is silky and smooth. Pair this wine with rabbit stew with carrots and potatoes.

Smokey layers of tar and asphalt open the nose of this dark and brooding Brunello Riserva. There are some candied and dried fruit notes here but the overall bouquet is focused on complex tertiary aromas. What sets the wine apart however is its texture: firm, drying and long lasting. Drink now or up to three years from now.

This Brunello Riserva offers impressive tones of red cherry and blackberry backed by spice and toast. There’s a richly succulent or vinous nature to the wine that will surely integrate with more time in the cellar. In the mouth, this wine is bright and fresh.

Intriguing floral notes like rose tea and pressed violet blend with briar patch, anise, leather, cigar box, cherry wood and earth. Not a modern blockbuster but delicious and refined with menthol-like freshness on the finish. Imported by Monsieur Touton Selection, Inc.

La Lecciaia delivers a soft and generous Brunello with deep aromatic layers of leather, licorice, cedar, dried black currants, spice and prunes. The aromas are intense but lack some of the immediate freshness you’d expect. In fact, it’s best to drink this wine within the next three or four years.
