A seriously good Brunello from an excellent estate.
Dark cherries and red berry fruit, underlying mineral character, with delicate oak spices, and rich chocolatey finish.
Rich on the palate, structured with grippy unrestrained tannin, a generous underlying acidity, and a long finish.
Producer: Fattoria La Magia
Region: Montalcino - Tuscany, Italy
