This wine is dedicated to those who love Brunello in its most authentic form, where structural power is balanced by a taut freshness that guarantees extraordinary aging potential.

Tasting Notes

• View: Deep ruby ​​red with purple hues when young, a sign of a high polyphenolic concentration.

• Nose: The nose is austere and refined. It opens with notes of black fruits (blueberry and blackberry), then evolves into hints of Mediterranean scrub, bitter cocoa, coffee powder, and a distinct hint of graphite and minerality.

• Palate: The wine enters the mouth with determination. The tannic structure is dense and tight, typical of great vintages suitable for aging. The palate is supported by a crisp acidity that provides freshness and balance, finishing on notes of licorice root and spicy spices.
