2017 L’Aietta Brunello di Montalcino

"This stunner boasts enticing scents of perfumed berry, pine forest, new leather and dark spice. Precise, vibrant and supremely elegant, the savory palate delivers juicy strawberry, red cherry, baking spice and star anise framed in taut, refined tannins. Bright acidity imparts great energy and keeps it well-balanced. Even a scorching vintage like 2017 couldn't stop winemaker and owner Francesco Mulinari from achieving remarkable focus and finesse. One of the very best of the vintage. Drink 2025-2037." - Kerrin O'Keefe Review Date: April 2022
