2017 Gianni Brunelli Brunello di Montalcino DOCG
Deep ruby colour, with soft notes of amarena cherries, wild strawberries, followed by floral notes and notes of heather and strawberry tree. Concentrated and savoury palate, shows balance of chewy but fine-grained tannins and a persistent finish. Drink now to 2040.
We treasure the experience from this vintage where we successfully managed the few water resources granted by mother nature in spring and early summer. We have well prepared the land to receive and retain water in winter and have given maximum attention to manage the vegetation in spring-summer. Two, three important rainfalls in early and mid-September were truly providential. The wine is fresh, balanced in all components and values. Perhaps the slightly early harvest penalized the tannic-phenolic extraction a little, but contributed to a very nice aromatic fragrance and fruity complexity
