“Good bright red. Penetrating but pure aromas of red cherry, flint and spicy oak. Dense, smooth and rather suave, with a light touch to the flinty red berry and herbal flavours. This is dense and rich without any heaviness, though it is so tightly coiled today that it will benefit from at least a dozen years in a good cellar to show all it has to offer. Lovely example of a Brunello from the northern slope of the Montalcino hill. A second bottle proved richer and more fruity, so I upped my score from when I had tasted this the first time back at the end of November 2023. Drinking window: 2034-2044.” 94+/100 Ian d’Agatha Terroir Sense.
The talk of the town in Montalcino. A very old estate with perfectly located vineyards near Le Chiuse and Siro Pacenti is gradually coming more into focus with modernly made, powerful but refined, aromatic, varietal wines.
