What beautiful clear fruit here, with plums and spices and hints of flowers. Class. Full- bodied and luscious, this Brunello fills your mouth, with polished velvety tannins and gorgeous fruit. So wonderful and gorgeous. Irresistible. Better than 2006. Best after 2016.

The 2007 Brunello di Montalcino is gorgeous. Dark red cherries, plums, spices, leather and tobacco wrap around the palate as this dense, powerful wine starts to open up. Expressive aromatics are woven throughout, giving the 2007 a measure of polish and sophistication that is not always present in this wine when it is young. Finessed, suave tannins reinforce an impression of elegance. The 2007 can be enjoyed with minimum cellaring, but it will also age gracefully for many years. Readers who want to try the 2007 today should give the wine plenty of air, as the more refined qualities only emerge over time. When tasted next to the 2006, the 2007 shows redder tonalities of fruit and less sheer muscle. Hints of tobacco, crushed flowers and spices wrap around the sensual finish. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2027.

This Brunello opens with inky, dark concentration and ripe aromas of prune, plum and blackberry. It's packed tight with savory spices, such as ground clove and cardamom, and it also offers a full load of ripe (but not jammy) black fruit. It feels thick and textured on the palate, with tannins that will soften with 5-10 more years of bottle aging. There's a touch of cherry sweetness on the close.

About Winery

Martini Bramante bought the property in 1953 and began bottling "Brunello Valdicava" in 1968. Located in the Montosoli area of Montalcino, the latitude is 43 degress, the Monte Amiata provides a protective barrier, and the nearby Tirrean Sea brings warmth, as well as breezes. The result is wines with great balance of body and aromas. Bramante's grandson, Vincenzo Abbruzzese, now runs the show.
