Wine tasting in tuscany 2008
Benvenuto Brunello! Is the name of a gathering with wine writers from around the world that “tastano” the next year to trade.
And we, like every year, after several tastings shared with Marco Gatti and colleagues we were to try this Brunello di Montalcino 2008 very satisfactory provided that all four stars in its time. We found ample wine, “just worked” with a general consistency between the various samples.
Here are a dozen news emerged from tasting “blind” where our best tasting was to Sixth di Sotto, company Ettore Spina, banking Turin. He and his wife Enrica you are in love with Tuscany thirty years ago.
They have three hectares of vineyards (10,000 bottles) and their Brunello di Montalcino 2008 is obtained from the first historic vineyard, aged in wooden casks for at least three years, has deep purple color, fine and clean flowers and fruit red, strong acidity, tannin, in short, a Brunello of great strength and good impact, with pleasant spice.
Over time it will become even bigger and elegant examples! In second place on our list, the ilcinese Fabio Rates (Rates seal-Franci): already beekeeper, enotecaro, fell directly in the field as vinnaiolo: has large purple nose and great body. It is at the same level, even as the type, with the Brunello Poggione. Surprise then to the company Vasco Sassetti.
The patron Massimo Lenzini, 47, uses the power of nature to extract the noble substances in the skins, without the use of mechanical actions. Its Brunello hit the fruity fragrance. Surprise with Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta “The Togata” Angel of Jeanneth and Danilo Tonon (is present in the wine list of the Quirinal and distributed in the Vatican City).
The age of the vineyards from which it selects the grapes for producing Brunello is more than 20 years. Their Brunello has revealed a sample of balance and heat. More on 135 in taste?
