A gorgeous single-vineyard Brunello from Angelo Gaja’s Tuscan estate, this wine is slightly more round and fleshy than Rennina but equally as complex and elegant. This is truly a great wine with velvet-like smoothness on the palate and intense black fruit and balsam aromas. It’s pensive yet yielding, refined and powerful all at once.

Elegance, finesse and deeply layered nuances are this Brunello’s strongest suits. The aromas are tightly etched: The mineral tones are exact and fine, the fruit is fleshly and cushioned by tones of moist tobacco and earth. The menthol notes are divine and penetrating: A beautiful, vineyard-designate wine from Angelo Gaja.

Doesn’t seem that concentrated at first, but builds powerfully on the finish, giving it good promise for the future. Combines ripe cherries, tobacco and leather with a silky mouthfeel in a classic Brunello style, finishing with firm tannins. Try in 2008.

This drop-dead gorgeous Brunello (from Angelo Gaja’s estate in Montalcino) boasts the beauty and charm of a vineyard that is blossoming with quality and intensity of fruit. You’ll get traditional notes of black licorice and cherry liqueur backed by elegant notes of spice and earth.
