Brunello di Montalcino, Riserva, 2015

Youthful and wound-up for now, with a bit of coaxing some dark fruit and brambly, iodine-rich berries gradually unfurl. On the palate, an explosive intensity of berries and stones - very mineral and it would be angular were it not for the ripe but very tightly packed, concentrated berried fruit lending sweetness to the bright beams of acidity. Special stuff but this is going to need some time to come around. A strict cellar selection that is whittled down to a production of one cask, yielding 1000 bottles. The wine is then kept a year longer in cask than the regular Brunello, a total of five years.
