Brunello Riserva 2009 among the 25 best wines of 2017 for Andreas Larsson






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».
