Description
"North - East side of Montalcino Hill, 300 mt above sea level. Medium texture soils rich in clay, marine fossils and, in the highest part, Alberese (weathered sandstone). 36 months in large slavonian oak barrels, and then at least 12 months of bottle aging. On the nose, clear notes of dark berries and cherries, violet, sweet spices and balsamic ending. On the palate, elegant rich and perfectly balanced, salty tannins and long persistence. Pair with juicy red meat, game meat, and hard cheese." - Notes from Ridolfi
"The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino is rich and darkly floral with a whiff of dark chocolate and violet pastille that gives way to crushed blackberries. This is soft and enveloping with tart red berry fruits that saturate as a coating of fine tannins mounts toward the close. It finishes staining, long and structured with a licorice note and hints of cedar lingering on." - Eric Guido, Vinous
