Our Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2009 figures out among the 25 best wines of 2017 tasted by Andreas Larsson, 2007 Best Sommelier of the World, for Tasted 100% Blind.
In his words, the list is made of «world class wines which possesse complexity, nuance, terroir expression, age worthiness, concentration and length».
Here's what Larsson wrote about our millésime:
«Medium deep ruby red with a lighter tawny rim. Pure but developed nose with sweet red fruit, dark cherry, fine spices, tobacco and some oak. The palate is concentrated but nicely rounded, rather a burgundian texture, with really fine purity, ripe tannin, clove, pepper and vanilla notes, with a lovely texture, plenty of ripeness but a fresh backbone and very long finish, stylishly crafted with elegance and complexity».
