    Le Ragnaie, Brunello di Montalcino, Fornace, 2007

    Fornace is a single plot in the Castelnuovo d'abate zone. The debut Fornace is a really intense, broad, full-blooded Brunello crammed to the rafters with ripe, exuberant fruit, notes of damson plum, kirsch and crème de mure but there is more than just fruit -layers of spice and savoury characteristics of liquorice, cinnamon, star anise, stone and herb, complement the rich, ripe fruit and make for a very complex, powerful wine. No more than 275 cases were made

    ABV:
    13.5%
    93+/100
    Ian d'Agata, Vinous
    Dark red with a pale rim. Aromas of raspberry, violet, iris, licorice and sweet spices are accented by white pepper. Ripe but vibrant, this highly concentrated, seamless wine boasts nicely integrated acidity and light peppery and strong floral qualities giving lift to the explosive midpalate. Finishes with sweet, building tannins and superb fruity persistence complicated by notes of tar and licorice. Remarkably rich, pliant and distinctive traditional Brunello.
