Descrizione
From the careful manual selection of the best bunches, collected only in the best vintages, the Brunello Riserva is born.
The concept of Riserva indicates for us a wine of a superior category that begins its journey from the vineyard.
Since its birth it is a wine with unique characteristics of power, elegance, breadth and austerity.
The nose recalls the aromas of ripe red fruit and spices. A first taste shows a strong impact with notes of raspberry, blackberry and licorice.
A minerality that caresses tannins smoothed by long aging in large barrels.
Well balanced acidity with the flavor that enhance the long and persistent finish.
A meditation wine.
