2017 San Filippo Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, Tuscany, Italy (750ml)

WINEMAKER'S NOTES:

The color is ruby red with a slight tendency to garnet. The nose is intense and complex, spicy, with dominant notes of Amarena cherry. The olfactory phase continues on the palate. The flavor is full, harmonious and persistent, with dense and silky tannins.

TASTING NOTES:

Sweet berry, cherry and floral aromas with some dried fruit as well. Hint of cedar. Full-bodied and chewy with lots of fruit, tannins and vanilla. Big and rich. But still fresh. Try after 2024.

There are plenty of savory elements here, from the juniper and sage to tobacco notes aligned with steeped cherry and strawberry fruit flavors and a hint of rose. Dry, dusty tannins line the finish. Best from 2024
