pristine Brunello has an almost Pinot Noir-like primary quality and superb inner-mouth tension
The flavors are sharply focused
with generous aromas of stone fruits
on the mid-slope of the hill
not too acidic yet neither too round or heavy

Brilliant golden hue that sparkles and shines. Finely carved bubbles erupt, accentuating the sparkling, crystalline appearance. The wine's evolution from fruity to floral (peaches in syrup, fine apple pie, and mountain butter) to fruity to floral (fresh fig, wild berry) to floral again
