A Symphony of Aromas & Flavors
From the first pour, this Brunello captivates with an intoxicating bouquet of violet, rose, and wild berry, layered with subtle hints of leather, sandalwood, and camphor. The palate unfolds with juicy cherry, blood orange, and star anise, framed by refined tannins and vibrant acidity that keeps each sip lively. Notes of dried florals, citrus peel, and pure red berries add depth, while earthy undertones and mineral accents hint at its profound aging potential.
