Ferrero Brunello Riserva opens with sweet, soft tones of milk chocolate and ripe berry with shades of leather and exotic spice on the fade. The wine’s soft, plush mouthfeel will match succulent cuts of grilled steak.

Smoke, raspberry, tart cherry, vanilla, dried basil leaf, plum, caramel and smoked ham work well together as a whole. Juicy acidity and firm but ripe tannins are drawn over a good mouthfeel that could be more compact and complex. Imported by Bacchanal Wines.

This dark Brunello by Ferrero offers a nice ensemble of mineral and graphite notes followed by mature berry fruit and smooth, rich extraction. Dark spice and toasted almond pick up the rear.

Ferrero’s Rosso di Montalcino offers an interesting layer of smoked ham or beef jerky that sits over a core of juicy berry fruit. Smoke flavors also appear in the mouth and although the wine’s consistency is not too thick or dense, those buoyant aromas and flavors do last a long time.

This hearty Brunello offers meaty tones of smoked bacon and ham that are wrapped over aromas of prune, mature cherry and blackberry. There’s very good persistency here and silky tannins help shape the wine’s velvety texture.

Executed by vintner Claudia Ferrero, this remarkable Brunello Riserva shows enormous intensity and staying power. The wine’s genuine aromas include wet earth, dried forest berry, leather, pipe tobacco and smoked bacon. The mouthfeel is rich and determined with polished tannins.

Ferrero has the heft and consistency to contend with other top Brunellos and the velvety-soft quality of its mouthfeel is extraordinary. The nose was less convincing, however, with heavy tones of old wood, cedar and liquid smoke.
