Just mid ruby. Perfumed sweet red-fruit nose with oak notes. Elegant red-fruit palate that is slightly pushed into the background by the oak. Succulent and with some pretty firm tannins on the finish. (WS)

This is one of three new wines presented by Fabio Tassi this year. The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Betinna Cuvée Franci shows fullness and generous fruit with ripe cherry, plum, sweet spice and forest floor. This wine is aged in 20-hectoliter botte for 30 months, and this gives it ample time to soften and integrate. This special cuvée shows a pretty sense of purity and depth with a punchy, lively bouquet that peels back slowly and elegantly.
