John Fodera of Tuscan Vines about our latest Brunello vintage:
«The 2012 Cupano Brunello di Montalcino is an absolute masterpiece. My tasting sheet begins simply with the word “wow”. There is stunning purity here. The deep ruby color impresses and portrays aromas that lead to crushed red plum and wild cherry, flinty wet stones, sweet tobacco leaf, cedar, fennel and exotic baking spices. On the palate, this is smoooooth. Not a rough edge to be found. Integrated tannins are like a silky baby’s behind. Full bodied and fruit driven from fore to aft, the traces of complexity are in the powdery, minerally aspects of this wine which gets tinged with cocoa powder, eucalyptus and cypress. An absolute joy».
