Unusually light bodied Brunello, very finesse driven. Cherry fruit and pepper spice. Balanced with soft tannins. Long finish, but just a tad “thin.” Solid, but I have had better vintages of this wine.
Revisited this wine 6 months later. Pretty similar tasting experience to what I noted above.

Light and polished Brunello. Lots of cherry and floral notes. Excellent pizza wine.

Bright cherry aromas and flavors. Intense fruit flavor with a hint of chocolate and baking spice. Smooth tannins and a long finish.
