Tasting Notes

It takes only a few moments before you appreciate the enormity, intensity and overall beauty of this landmark wine. Cerretalto is always a high scoring expression of Brunello, but the ideal conditions of the 2007 vintage elevate it to earthly perfection. Dark and fleshy, the wine delivers ever-evolving aromas of dark fruit, chocolate, spice and tobacco. The acidity is carefully balanced against the wine’s thickness and rich texture. The finish is long, luscious and elegant. Keep this bottle in your cellar 10 years or more.

-, Wine Enthusiast, January 2013

Wonderful aromas of dried berries and raspberries with hints of milk chocolate and blueberries. Full body with velvety tannins and a long, delicious finish. Drink now or hold. Wonderful wine as always. Not the intensity of the 2006 but superb for this single-vineyard wonder. Try in 2017.

James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, November 2013

Pure cherry and blackberry fruit mingles with mineral, spice and earth notes in this modern-style red. Graphite elements emerge as the bright acidity and dusty tannins drive the long finish. Fresh and focused, with fine complexity and seamless texture. Best from 2016 through 2035. 4,225 cases made.
