Tasting notes
Proprietor Andrea Cortonesi's 2001 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is packed with black cherries, smoke, tar and licorice. This intense, brooding Brunello possesses notable concentration and length, but a year or two in the bottle are needed for its raw elements to come together. It is an impressive effort.
