The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino is a pretty, mid-weight offering graced with crushed flowers, dried cherries, spices and sweet herbs. Menthol, licorice and roses add complexity on the high-toned, feminine finish. Already pretty approachable, the estate’s 2006 Brunello looks to be an excellent choice for near and mid-term drinking. The Brunello spent 36 months in large Slavonian and French oak casks. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2024. These are two beautiful 2006 Brunelli from Caparzo. Both wines are distinguished for their elegance, textural beauty and overall finesse. Importer: Vineyard Brands, Birmingham AL; tel. (205) 980-8802

A tight, linear style, elegant and supported by firm, dusty tannins. Cherry, molasses and tobacco notes are savory, while the chewy texture persists through the finish. Best from 2014 through 2025. 5,000 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add
