FRESCOBALDI BRUNELLO RISERVA 750ML

A rich, luminous ruby, with a garnet-edged rim, announces this Brunello. It develops a remarkably complex bouquet, ranging from initial scents of red and black wild berry fruit, such as blackberry and wild strawberry, then to more assertive dried plum and liqueured cherries. Next to emerge are pungent notes of spice and vanilla, which gradually yield to impressions of roasted espresso bean and tobacco leaf with subtle hints of balsam and salty mineral in the background. It displays notable smoothness and alcoholic warmth on the palate, with a lively acidity supporting mouth-filling, fine-grained tannins. It concludes with an almost-endless finish subtly laced with well-ripened fruit.
