Tasting notes

This top Brunello estate always delivers great value, especially in this delicious, ready-to-drink, treat from vineyards not far from Montalcino. Plump and round through the middle, this serves up stylish Tuscan red aromas and finishes with fine-grained tannins and a burst of ripe cherry.
