The alluring delicate density of dried fruit and flowers define the nose, from dried cherry and dried cranberry to dried rose petal. A medley of sweet and tart berries on the palate sparkle with a slice of Cara Cara orange and a glint of metallic knife’s edge, stitched together by refined tannins. Capanna.

This is the so-called "green label" Brunello with proprietor Elisabetta Gnudi Angelini's signature on the front of the bottle. Her classic 2017 Brunello di Montalcino is sharp and tonic with wild raspberry, cassis, lilac, earth and garden herb. There is a sweet note of sour cherry on the mid-weight finish. This is an ample 160,000-bottle production made in a traditional approach with two years in casks made with both Slavonian and French oak.

Pretty aromas of blue flowers and wild berries mix with new leather and botanical herbs. On the linear, already approachable palate, fine-grained, polished tannins accompany juicy Morello cherry, star anise, crushed mint and mocha. Drink through 2027.
