A striking wine that has some stony, dark, savory soul, as well as plenty of rich fruit. It has some riper plum-essence aromas and flavors with a rich and intense style to the palate. Bold, smooth tannins and plenty of extract here. Drink or hold. |

Verbena |
Brunello di Montalcino |
Medium red. Pungently floral aromas of violet, redcurrant, raspberry, truffle and smoky earth. Rich, chewy and deep on entry, with enticing sweetness to the red fruit and spice flavors, then turns lighter and more dilute in the middle and on the finish. Closes with repeating saline nuances and noteworthy length. A lovely easygoing Brunello offering early appeal and easy accessibility. |

Elia Palazzesi |
Collelceto Brunello di Montalcino |
Luminous red-ruby. The perfumed, rich nose emphasizes ripe red cherry, dark plum, dried herbs and orange peel. Similar flavors translate into an invigoratingly juicy, fresh, but ripely fleshy mouthfeel featuring strong floral and balsamic notes providing the red fruit notes noteworthy lift. This Brunello remains light and lively despite its upfront round fleshiness thanks to high acidity and extract, showcasing outstanding balance. Closes long, refreshing and suave. |
