This opulent red is packed with coffee, black cherry, plum and sweet spice flavors. Though well-structured, this remains vibrant and full of sweet fruit on the finish, with a very long aftertaste. Best from 2013 through 2023.

From the hills and valleys surrounding the medieval village of Montalcino, come the distinguished and age-worthy wines based on Brunello (Sangiovese).
