Tasting notes
The 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Zebras is a robust and opulent expression that shows good balance and harmony. Aged 36 months in wood, it presents good primary intensity with blackberry and plum, but you also get evolved or aged tones of spice, leather and campfire ash. In terms of mouthfeel, these wines from Villa I Cipressi are distinguished by their roundness and textural softness. This special Brunello release of 6,000 bottles is no different. However, the Zebras is more powerful than others in terms of tannins and structure.

Tasted blind. Mid to deep ruby. Sweet, youthful and concentrated fruit on the nose with what looks like a bit of oak. Supple and ripe with bags of grainy tannins striking a real balance with the fresh acidity. Mellow fruit on the finish betrays this is very ripe/late harvest. (WS)
