There's wonderful ripe fruit, tea, tobacco and cedar aromas. Full-bodied and complex, with chewy yet velvety tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Best after 2010. 830 cases made.

Here's a vineyard-select Brunello with a thick, grainy texture and persistent aromas of blackberry, ripe cherry, bee's wax and mineral nuances. The wine has power and concentration and would pair well with lamb or roasted pork.
