Tasting notes
Fanti's 2013 Brunello di Montalcino is a fruit-driven expression that makes a fresh and simple presentation. The wine tastes younger than it actually is, thanks to those notes of vibrant cherry and crème de cassis. There is a candied element as well that resembles sweet watermelon or peach. It's hard to determine where the wine's aging trajectory will take it. If all the fresh fruit fades, it's not clear what will replace it. But the wine is sturdy and firm in texture, so it might just keep us guessing.

Youthful mid ruby. Cool nose of red fruit with proper depth with hints of herbs and iron. Supple maraschino cherry on the palate. Perhaps a tiny bit pushed towards ripeness but supported by chewy tannins. Very easy to like. (WS) (JR)
