NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Brunello di Montalcino from Ruffino Tenuta Greppone Mazzi is a stunning Italian red that shows off its powerful structure and complexity.On the nose, aromas of wild cherry, blackberry, and licorice mingle with hints of dried herbs, baking spices, and tobacco. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and structured with flavors of ripe red fruit and earthy notes, lifted by a strong mineral acidity and well-integrated tannins. The finish is incredibly long and complex, exhibiting notes of dark chocolate and leather. This is a truly remarkable expression of Brunello that is sure to delight any wine lover.
