Tasting notes
Spontaneous fermentation and racked off after two weeks into 30- and 54-hl French oak barrels where it ages for 38 months followed by six in bottle. Mid ruby. Subtle yet rich cherry and cherry-liqueur nose. Lots of juicy cherry fruit and coating tannins. Lots of stuffing and length with succulent fruit. A credible crowd-pleaser with good potential. (WS)

The palate has a profile of dried cherry, tomato leaf, and Mediterranean herbs, with refreshing acidity and drying tannins. The 2016 Brunello was aged for 38 months in large French oak.
