Tasting Notes: Intense ruby red in color, this Brunelllo has an elegant nose, characterized by red fruits, black cherry and underwood, framed by notes of red flower potpourri, eucalyptus, cedar wood, leather and licorice. Its full body on the palate is supported by well extracted tannins and a beautiful freshness: tangible signs of a wine with long aging potential.
