Pale red. Aromas of sour cherry, rhubarb, minerals, and white flowers. Another terrific, modern Brunello with a delicious palate of soft red fruit flavors, fine powdery tannins, and smooth new oak. Silky, with lots of finesse. Will drink well upon release and for an additional 10 years. From Montalcino vineyards 150-300 meters above sea level on south-facing hills. Made in stainless steel and aged in large barriques for a year, followed by an additional 12 months in large French Oak. 3,333 cases made.

Aromas of blueberries and bacon and hints of wet earth. Full body, with velvety and round tannins and a juicy finish. Wonderful finish of fruit and meat. Opulent and soft. Better in 2014. Best Fanti since 2001.

This fine and delicate Brunello shows soft elegance and sophistication in the form of cassis, wild berry, white pepper, root beer, toasted nut and smoky cigar tobacco. The mouthfeel is firm, clean and tonic with elements of tannic structure and fresh acidity that work well together. The oak element is still young and needs time to integrate.

A big, rich style, boasting plum, soy and tobacco aromas and flavors. Features good acidity and firm tannins that bode well for development, with just a touch of heat on the finish. Best from 2014 through 2028.-B.S.
