14% abv
Decanted to breathe for a couple of hours, which worked well. Minimal sediment.
A Burgundy-lovers Brunello that develops fascinatingly in the glass and rivets your attention. Quite approachable now, but likely improving with several years of cellaring.
Somewhat muted florals on the nose, but exhibits highly savory hints of clove and spice.
Elegant red cherry and balasmic palate, imbued with substantial freshness and tension. Fine dusty tannins with subtle chalkiness on the framework that hints of limestone-influenced terroir.
Vineyards are located in the northern portion of the region and benefit from slightly cooler temperature and higher elevation.
Alessandro Mori is one of my favorite producers in the region, making consistently excellent wines.
Paired with fresh ravioli with spicy meat filling, topped with sea salt, tellicherry pepper, olive oil and grated Asiago.
