2017 | Pinino | Cupio Brunello di Montalcino

Deeply perfumed on the nose with delicious aromas of violets, wild rose, mulberry and cigar box. Both light and intense on the palate with fruit density, balance and opulence. Fine tannins float across the palate, revealing notes of plum, rose and chocolate.

Reviews:

• Kerin O’Keefe: This straightforward red offers aromas suggesting orange rind, baking spice and tobacco. It's already accessible, with flavors recalling sour cherry, star anise and a dollop of vanilla accompanied by round tannins.

• Vinous: Good full red. Spicy red berry and floral notes on the enticing nose. Then fresh and juicy, with vibrant, refined red cherry and sweetly spicy berry flavors. Finishes long and mineral.
