"irst produced in 1988 from an experiment by Mr. “Birba” Sergio Rossi who decides to try and age Brunello in barriques. The result is a decisively charming, very pleasant wine, and, at the same time, robust wine with a winning value for money." - LA GERLA
This "junior Brunello" has aromas reminiscent of rose, allspice berries and sage, along with a dark cherry cordial core. On the palate you'll find a medium-full body and a texture that's evolving with age, becoming more like crushed velvet with a touch of the classic Sangiovese dustiness, making it gently chewy and perfect for meaty dishes. The finish gives you a combination of warmly-toned, tangy floral-tinged fruit and earth. This special deal is not to be missed by fans of bold, earthy Montalcino reds!
Aged 8-12 months in French Allier-Vosge, medium-toasted barriques (~1/3 new).
