Tasting notes
The 2013 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Loreto is hauntingly dark and floral, wafting up from the glass with masses of crushed cherry, sweet herbs and tobacco. Soft-textured and round, this possesses cooling acidity and mineral tones that add a crunchy sensation, as rich red and black fruits settle upon the senses. This finishes with tremendous length—still youthfully tense and staining, leaving a bitter tinge of blackberry and black tea-like tannins to linger.

The 2013 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Loreto is a darkly saturated and finely textured expression of Sangiovese from a cool and graceful vintage. The bouquet sings loud with dark cherry and blackberry followed by spice, leather and cured tobacco. There are plenty of balsam and floral highlights to add subtle detailing at the back. This is a great example of the elegance achieved in 2013. Only 7,560 bottles were made.
Mid ruby with bright bricky tinges. Tight and closed on the nose and equally slow to open up on the palate. Depth and complexity on the finish with juicy acidity and grainy tannins. (WS) (JR)
